I'll be gone for a while.

I'm going into the hospital tomorrow (Friday) to have particularly large and stubborn kidney stones surgically removed. So, if you are planning any fun activities while I'm gone, take pictures!!! See ya......

When I had my kidney stone attack... I would gladly have gone under the knife to get rid of them instead of dealing with that pain. However, so sorry you have to go through this...

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

I'll look absolutely awful, no matter the angle. Surgery in AM to plant tube and stone removal in PM will be with back-side up -- ugh. Worst of all, admitting nurse said to bathe and wash hair before going to the hospital but use NO hair products or make-up -- eeww. So, front AND back sides will be totally unpresentible. But thanks for the request, anyway!

No matter how routine the procedure, it's always distressing.

We'll be thinking of you.

My father passed kidney stones the hard way, I'd MUCH MUCH rather have them surgically removed after seeing what he went through.

I've suffered with kidney stones before and when they were moving they hurt like a *****! At the time I felt like grabbing a kitchen knife and performing surgery on myself.

Best wishes and enjoy the drugs!
