 Hey Crystal,

No plans on this end for Halloween.  Probably be like any other day in this house... with the addition of kids coming to the house for candy!!  Unless I can think of a more creative thing to give out to the kids rather than the regular candy!

Hi Crystal,

I guess I was hoping that I had been one of the lucky ones that was able to dodge the dumping bullet. I guess not... I hate to think I have to live worried about where the nearest facilities are. Oh well, better that than to have Type 2 Diabetes, et al...

Thanks for you support.

Barb

That stent may be painful, but so would the discomfort of peeing sand.  I had a major stone about 8 years ago.  I passed it without blasting, and it made a major clink in the toilet - kid you not. 

I have heard that lemon juice helps reduce the chance of kidney stones forming.  Not sure if it is true or not, but I have some every day.  Only one minor incident since then. 

Wishing you the best

Pam

PS you look wonderful!

Ooohhhhhh Jen,

I'm soooo sorry that this happened to you too. It makes me a bit leary about what's 'safe' and what isn't. Any ideas on how to tell what's still safe?

Are we living parallel lives Barb?

I had a handful of almonds this am while out shopping, well actually in the car.
i got into the store and the dumping hit me like a ton of bricks. clammy, shakey, crampy and sleepy.

Like you I have had them numerous times. Guess it is just our pouches reminding us who is in charge!
