Glad Its All Over

Well, it's almost the end of July and all my woes with Kidney Stones are over... for now. (Though I hope for good!) I don't wish those things on anyone. The first procedure wasn't so bad, b/c I was completely knocked out. But the second procedure, where they had to go in and remove the stint... for that I wasn't knocked out, though I wish I had been. That was no fun at all!! But it's all over now, and fully back in the saddle full swing.

I must say that because of this, I have made at least one really huge change in my life. I use to never drink water... I loved Pepsi and Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper, etc., etc. way too much so I never drank water. Well, that is no longer the case. Besides my coffee in the morning and my glass of milk at night, about all I drink now is water with just a tad of lemon juice. My dad told me that pure lemon juice was good for the kidneys and stuff, so I've learned to like it. So, who knows... maybe haven given up Pop I won't have any more stones. I sure hope so!!
