Good luck to you on Friday sounds like a piece of cake compared to the previous diagnosis and as soon as it is over have a piece of cake.

You know, I think I will!  My MIL is retiring and Tuesday we're scheduled to have pedicures to celebrate.  That is going to be GOOD!

Only on the Forum do we get to say things like: I am glad to hear you have a 9mm stone in your kidney. :)  My neighbor is a tech at the hospital who does the kidney stone sonic blast treatments. It sounds vaguely medieval, but nothing like going through brain surgery.

Merry Christmas!

Steve, I don't think there is anything like going through brain surgery!  I mean I'm sure there is worse out there but hopefully its the worst I'll have to experience!  And oh the excitement for "just" a kidney stone.   :D ;D

Happy blasting!  My dad had it done quite a few times and didn't have any real complaints afterwards, so I'm sure you'll do great.  (women are much tougher than men, you know...  ;)).

Is it going to far to say that if we had a women in charge of the military that we'd be out of Iraq, taken out bin Laden, have put Iran in check, smacked down North Korea and most of the other world problems would be solved in about 26 days?   :o

Yes, Brian, but it wouldn't be too long after that before they started having us do projects. Pretty soon they would "ask" us to start rearranging the world, like dig up Hawaii and move it closer to California because the plane ride is too long. I'm not sure if it would be worth it.  :P

Anissa,
Hopefully you got that blasted kidney stone blasted without any problems.....
So glad to hear it was treated by a different doctor.
Enjoy your holidays and pedicure. :)

Gotta do it between PMS attacks!  Otherwise we'd blow up the world.
