Lots going on
Last Saturday I got up and made breakfast and then went into the bathroom to do my hair and all of a sudden I felt this little twinge. Well I am not used to getting kidney, bladder etc.. infections, but I knew enough to know there was something going on. So I went and drank 2 big glasses of water,thinking that would help. Well about 5 minutes later I was in agonizing and I mean agonizing pain. To make a long story short DH finally talked me into going to the hospital about 1:30 and after blood work and a CAT scan they told me I had a 7mm kidney stone and that you cannot pass one that big so they had to do surgery to remove it Sunday morning. I came home Sunday afternoon and I have been out of it for most of the week. They had to put a stint in  that I have to go have removed tomorrow. I am hoping that I will feel even better after that. My DH was so loving and very attentive and caring during the whole thing. I am so lucky to have him.He slept in the hospital bed with me Saturday night to make sure I didn't run a fever. I Love him so much.
     Also this week we got 3 baby calves that we have been bottle feeding twice a day.They are holsteins and we will raise them for beef. The weather has been beautiful, to bad I have not been able to enjoy it. I am hoping to get some flowers and some of my garden out this week-end.
     MY mom came over when my hubby had to go back to work and she took care of things here for me. I am so thank-ful  to have such a wonderful mom. She is so giving and always puts her children first. She taught me alot of things when I was a child, but the lessons I have learned from her as an adult leave me speechless. I am going to spend time with my youngest since it is just her and I at home right now. I am trying to capture every moment that I can. I hope that everyone has a blessed day. Love, Tina

wow, tina. I hope you feel better soon! I have never had a kidney stone ( thank the good lord) but I used to work in the emergency room in a local hospital, and I have seen lots of people in lots of pain over them. You take gentle care.
