Not again

So I go to the specialist, and apparently someone at the hospital misread the xray because according to the xray from the specialist's point of view, I am not kidney stone free. What a letdown. I thought all the pain was gone! I have a 4mm stone sitting in my right kidney. Its the biggest one yet. Thinking of how violently ill I got with the last one, I cringe. BUT right now its just sitting there It could sit there for a month, a year or years...Meanwhile I have to follow weird instructions (OK theyre not that weird) Eat very little meat, drink lots of water, keep low sodium and lots of fiber, fun fun. If I get a fever and flank pain, they'll get the stupid thing out themselves.

Ok thats my rant. How's everyone else, doing? Now that I have a computer I can read your posts! :)

Fried Computer

I'm back! And with a new computer, with an annoying touch screen as well. So I guess I can touch and type/ Whatever. Anyway let this be a lesson to you all DONT KEEP BEVEREGAGES NEXT TO YOUR COMPUTER!!! Let me update you. I had a glass of orange juice next to my computer, and with the slightest move, I spilled it all over the keyboard, usb drives, cd rom drive front and back. Let's just say I fried my computer and leave it at that.


May the 4th be with you!

That is all!

What? No tea? No soda?

SO....Things are getting better. I went to see the specialist, and he told me that I'm one less kidney stone. That's the good news :) The bad news is he doesn't think my pain is kidney related (I see my GI doc on Monday so maybe he'll have some insight) The bad news, which I'm still grumbling over: No soda, no tea, and no more than 3-4 servings of dairy a day to prevent more stones (again this is only for people who have kidney stones) I was like crap! I had been really putting down bottles and bottles of green tea thinking I was making myself better! lol 

But I'm feeling much better except for a little nausea. I need to get back to exercising because I'm starting to gain weight, but I'm so good at making excuses. I think I will after all these appointments are over. (excuse #1 jk. it is a good idea to wait til I'm sure I'm healthy)


Oh, and we went to TGIF Friday's after my appointment...and we had this really cute waiter and  he was just really nice...and cute.

Back!

So...I'm back... Didn't feel much like writing in the last few weeks... so much has happened. I've been battling kidney stones lately, and they are excruciatingly painful. Followed by 2 and a half weeks on the BRAT diet (bananas,rice,applesauce, toast) for nausea and not being able to keep anything down, I was thrilled to be able to eat by Christmas!

And now class is over...For my last essay, I wrote a tribute to my mother. It was hard for me, because most of my memories of her have been of her in the hospital or in pain or the night of her death. But I thought hard and bypassed those horrid memories and found the good ones of when I was little and the time I spent with her before things got bad. It's something I needed to write for a long time, and something I will definitely keep.

NOW....Christmas...I got a lot I didn't expect. I didn't know I was even getting presents. I thought we were going to sit around and talk and have a good time. But I have to say this...my brother and his girlfriend got me more Dr. Who stuff then I ever expected lol. A book about the history of the show, a book of all the characters, and as a sort of gag gift, an 11th Doctor action figure LOL Oh and they also got me "Poets Market 2014" time to start writing soon!!!

We also visited my Uncle in the hospital and he's in good spirits, talking football, work, the norm, which is great!

wrromg time

 did the weirdest thing last night. I put on my PJs about 5:00 and got in bed with a good book. I woke up at 8pm only it was 8pm, and I thought it was 8am. So I;m like ahhh I need to call the cab company and I kept hearing this recording,,,so I eventually I gave up. I'kk deal with them later. So I took a shower, got dressed did my hair, ate breakfast, and then,,,,I saw the clocks read 8pm., not 8am...all that work for nothing...no wonder the cab company wasn't answering. SO I went back to bed and woke up ar 5 as usual.. Makes for a funny story though.

The essay #2

So I got good feedback about my second essay. I added the parts the prof. suggested, and it came out pretty good. Still trying to work on a topic for essay 3. (the last essay) I better hurry up because we start work shopping as soon as we get back (that means presenting what you have to the class and they critique it.) SIGH I hate deadlines. Time is going by way too fast....I blame DST ending!!!!

Daylights Savings Time

Sooo...Daylights Savings time ends. And I don't like it. I like my sun, as much as I can get. I don't care If I have a busy schedule. I wake up at 6:30 in the morning and it's pitch black outside. But coming home from class in the dark? Not fun. Because I feel like going to bed...then I'm like, oh crap, dinner. And I'm guilty of grabbing a nutrition bar, and calling it dinner.  Bad JE8306!

Well, that's my rant....what are your thoughts
