Thanks. It flared up in October and I thought it was something I ate. Cramping and back pain. It went away after about an hour. Then in January the pain happened again and was so bad I called an ambulance and went to the hospital.

They gave me an IV of pain medicine and did scans. The stone was 7 mm and too big to pass on its own, so had to have surgery for it. Once I knew what it was, it was like a ticking time bomb wondering if it would start hurting again.

Because of my age and health history, I had to get the surgery cleared with my family doctor and heart doctor. It took about 2 weeks to get everything cleared but it gone now and such a relief not to have to worry about it.

Good Luck with the braces. I remember the day I got them on it was pretty painful. I bet as an adult it may be even more painful. Hope they give you something good for the pain. The final result will be well worth it.

Ah, bet those are fun memories! I still have pain meds from the WLS, so figure anything I have can be handled as a bundle...I hope.

The self-improvement kick and hopes of corrected teeth are what's keeping me moving forward for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Mornin' All!

I got up at 4:00 due to a sick cat. Poor guy! (he has inflammatory bowel disease and has had it for around five years, I think. It's mostly controlled, but it occasionally flares up. Hopefully that's all it is this time, too...)

I've been listening to the news about the earthquake in southeastern Turkey all night and am waiting to hear if my friend who lives there is OK. I have several friends in Turkey, but most live in or near Istanbul. I'm assuming they're all OK since they're pretty far away. This guy lives really close to the epicenter, though. Hopefully I'll hear something today, although if not, I won't worry too much yet - I'm sure he's got more important things on his mind than responding to my messages.

I'm planning to go to Aqua Zumba at 9:00 and then I have class at 4:00. Lots to do in between...reading for classes, finishing my book for my discussion group, watching a film for my film group. I'm also going to throw a pork roast in my Instant Pot and make pulled pork.

QOTD: Fortunately, I rarely get them. I don't have a good answer - hopefully someone will - they're a big PITA!!

B: Greek yogurt, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: salad with chicken breast and light dressing

AS: protein muffin (?)

D: pulled pork, some kind of vegetable

have a great day, everyone!

P.S. just heard from my friend - he's OK! He said the internet connections are really awful right now, though (not surprised...).
