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!!

Gave up soda, huh? I respect you for that...
I'm trying to do the same right now, since I'm going overseas soon. (except it's Diet Cherry Coke for me, or sometimes a Sprite.) But it sure ain't easy!
He sure does drink a lot of water now! And puts lemon in it... ::gag::
But Im glad. He looks healthier :-)
Yea, I'm with you Drea, don't know if I could go so far as the lemon!
But overseas, you know... think I'll just be happy if I can drink a lot of bottled water.
I decided to come over here and say hello. So hello...ha ha. I comment on your wife's blog ALL THE TIME! I'm glad you are over the kidney stones, those couldn't have been fun. Have you seen those single packet things that you add to your water that makes it taste like fruit punch or something? They even make green tea ones. I buy the generic version, just because I'm frugal like that, they don't taste any different from the expensive ones. You should ask Drea to put them on the grocery list for this week. :P I put those in my water because I can't stand the taste of ... uh... water...hee hee. Lemon, with no sugar...I'm with Drea... ::Gag::
