This too shall pass... (yes, pun intended!)

As a way to truly celebrate our Anniversary, Larry ended up in the ER last night with what he KNEW was kidney stones again.  He has had them twice before...once in the Canary Islands and once while we lived in Cleveland.  It was the middle of the night and I couldn't leave the girls to go with him, but he had an xray and verified that it is another one.  (and that he has several more hanging on his kidneys.)  I just remember the last time the doctor told him it wasn't very large and that it should pass fairly quick...and he said, well, is it sharper than usual, or hooked...or jagged.  We laughed!

And yes...this, too shall pass!  Good luck Larry!

Hey Larry Strain your urine, and I hope you can pass it.. really.. Can your Dr. check the composition of the stones? there may be another problem or imbalance causing them and once that is targeted hopefully there are no more... If not lytotripsy with a stent.. Good luck..

Shanda,

I look forward to meeting you.. This trial has been an opportunity to get to know the kind of amazing woman you are..

Love

Ann
