Kidney Stone time of year
Well...I just got done finishing up my annual Art retreat (artfest) 2 weeks ago and couldn't get into work the week after. I just sat in my office spinning my wheels, so Tracy finally told me to just take the week off. I didn't argue much. But the problem came in when I was all ready to get back into work last week and Trista (my 20 year old) came down with a kidney stone (her 2nd in 6 months). Tracy spent 6 hours in the ER with her. The next day, Tuesday, Tracy came home saying that he felt he was having some serious sympathy pains for trista. By 7pm, we was doubled over and I was rushing him to another ER. This time it only took 10 minutes for the diagnosis of "you have a kidney stone". What are the odds of 2 family members having a kidney stone within a day of each other??! anyway...I tried to work all last week but it is very strange to have your husband home all day every day. He didn't need much attention but I was thrown off. By the end of the week (yesterday) he was having surgery to remove it because the doctor said it was too large to pass. After surgery, the doc referred to it as looking like a 2 headed monster! LOL. Not surprising that tracy had one of THOSE inside him! Tommorrow is Easter and we'll not be celebrating in any big way.

So glad you have a blog now too. I'm ticking down the days to ArtFiberFest, "art camp" as it's known to my friends and family. Sorry to hear about your challenges medically, but glad that you're taking some down time. Hope everyone has a speedy recovery.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Tracy and Trista's bout with kidney stones..hope they are both feeling better! I have a feeling Tracy will somehow incorporate the idea of a kidney stone in his art LOL Lawdy! Seems like I know y'all and haven't met yet lol. I know I visit your site quite a bit to drool over all the eye-candy. I am a big fan of your work. I hope to get to ArtFest one year. Glad to see your a part of the blog world!
Welcome to teh blog world. The double kidney stone thing may happen due to the mineral content of your water. i off hand remember something baout it but not specifically. Basically you may need to have your water tested for (insert something here) and if it turns up you will need to change your water consumption habits - even taking pains to cook with bottled or filtered water. I hope you all find yourselves on teh mend soon
ReplyDeleteHi Teesea, its a kidney stone year. Me to, horrible pain a 11mm stone stuck. Surgury that night. A week in bed. Now to drink buckets of water. Every one should drink tons of water. I hate drinking water it was for my brushes. Love every thing about you & your art. Check out my picturetrail, you'll love my arty house.

ReplyDeleteMy husband has had several over the years and his doctor keeps telling him that if he would just drink a glass of lemonade everyday (homemade not store bought) he would not have the stones...
ReplyDeleteNot to mention to make sure he drinks lots of water.
Just thought I would mention it, for I thought it was kinda funny.
Blessings,
Bernie

Hi! Just want to say what a nice site. Bye, see you soon.
ReplyDelete»
I find some information here.
ReplyDeleteI have tried and feel the efficacy of Calcusol.
ReplyDeleteA simple and most important lifestyle change to prevent stones is to drink more liquids—water is best. Someone who tends to form stones should try to drink enough liquids throughout the day to produce at least 2 quarts of urine in every 24-hour period.
