Another one bites the dust!

*KIDNEY STONES*

(to the TUNE: "Gloria" by Laura Brannigan)

"Kidney stones -- you're always in my bladder.
You've got me doubled over ...
(People do not know what's the maaaattter)

I drink my water every hour of the daaayyy
And yet you keep on formin'
The pain was starting in my back ...
I know that this was just my warnnnnin' ~

You really don't remember
I told you not to come on back
I'm sick and tired of your attacks ...
Stupid kidney stones .... "

(I'm not interested in doing additional verses ... just *blasting* my kidney stones via song. 
Thanks - I feel better now!)

Not a pretty sight but I finally passed another kidney stone today -- at work of all places!  Great fun (???).  Geeesh*

I know it's disgusting when you stop to think that I actually reach into the toilet to snatch these suckers out before flushing so I can show off my feat ... but hey - I needed some credit.  [ha - I guess it's kinda like showing off you're new baby after delivery ... let's face it - they're not always that cute right outta' the shoot either!] ... 

Soooo - my day went something like this:  Got up - ouch.  Went to the bathroom - ouch.  Went to work - ouch.  Answered phones - ouch.  Went to the bathroom - ouch.  Passed another  kidney stone - ahhhh.  Went and laid down in the conference room for 10 min.  :-)  And ... I felt ~

Better!

Anywhooo - back to what I was originally saying - you can't really tell but this most recent stone was like glass ... it actually sparkled and, if it hadn't hurt like he**, might've been considered somewhat --- "pretty"?!?  LOL 

I really have had a lot of (too many) issues with kidney stones post gastric bypass ... not sure if this is the same for you?  I sincerely hope not!  I have a great deal to learn (or accept) as far as consuming Starbuck's Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate(s) and ... dare I admit it ... peanut M&M's.  sigh*   Chocolate and ... (well, there isn't anything to add but chocolate ... I was going to give two examples of the things that tempt me but ... it's not chocolate and _____ -- it really is just chocolate) ... Simply put:  Chocolate remains my downfall.

I paid for my indiscretions this month ... one too many hot chocolates = one too many kidney stone(s).  Live and learn.

LEARN.
LEARN.

Learn, damnit!  I think I'm *finally* getting it!  I think I'm *finally* learning this lesson so I don't have to keep retaking this class!  ;-)

More later - and, as always, I'll keep you ...
