Yes. The stent tube is about as big around as a spaghetti strand, so it takes very little to clog it. And when you're older, especially with a foreign body connected to the outside in your kidney, despite all the sanitary protocols he gets infections. Or they never completely go away..
I think I remember those arduous steps - didn't y'all haul a sofa up those? Is your cottage the same delightful one you rented last? Have a lovely time with the kiddos; I know you will.
Diane, your friends really did have bad luck. What good friends you are for helping them out! Hope the last leg of their trip is uneventful.
CC, glad your Dad can recover at home! Hospitals are definitely not the place for rest!
We had a good visit with my aunts and Mom and my brother and his wife yesterday. Did a little driving tour to all of the hometown haunts. Had good Mexican last night!
Today we took a walk by the river (Mississippi) and will hang low until we meet up with my girlfriends around 5. Going to the Tapas place for dinner again. Will head home tomorrow morning.
No weigh in while here, but I?m staying on track with calories and protein. Tonight may have a little alcohol.
I?m not noticing any difference in the increased dose and may even have a little more hunger. I may inject from the new vial this Sunday, just in case something is amiss.

Ocean! Howdy and good morning, ma'am.
OMGosh! I am astonished at the overwhelming misfortune your friend and her BF are experiencing. So good to have friends to provide for needs and comforts. Prayers that the cleanup (business end of ordeal) will go glitch less.
I tend to get caught up in the chaos new experiences naturally create and lose the joy of the adventure. Your post reminds me to appreciate and have gratitude every day for my body's ability to do and enjoy the journey.
Peps, that is such a problem- dealing with clothes too large for you ( reminds me of the retort "are you bragging or complaining?") If you buy new, don't get very much. I have a feeling you'll be needing to size down even more.
****ly, I use a cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide, for poison ivy- works well so could be great on bug bites. It's a prescription, but I bet your Dr would call it in without a visit, maybe.
To all in vacation mode- enjoy! Ditto for all at home, too.
Speaking of the day- off to finish up the house for tomorrow.

Ocean4dlm, wow, your friends have been through it!!! They are lucky to have all of you to help them through this.
Agree about local elections. I live within my School district boundaries, and who gets elected to the school board has a big impact on my job. And who the mayor is has a direct impact on daily life.
Good morning! Travel went well. We were on Jet Blue this time. We got to DD's neighborhood about 12:45am, and found a place to park a couple of blocks away. This involved pulling suitcases down derelict sidewalks and down a flight of stairs to her street, then up 3 flights of the stairs of death. We travel to have experiences that are different than our daily lives :)
I'm so happy to be with DD again, and waiting for DS to arrive Friday. Saturday we leave for our beach cottage.
Today, no big plans. Since we rented a car, we will take DD to run some errands that are harder to do using using public transportation. Tomorrow night we are having dinner with some friends we refer to as The Boston Parents. DD lived with them the first 2 years here.
Your weight keeps dropping! Congrats on getting the house ready - it's a lot of work isn't it?

Down days like yesterday for you are tough and probably made you more irritated at the goings on at last nights meeting. Hopefully your mood is much improved!
