The 3rd stone

For those who know me little, the above may sound like a song title or, hell, maybe a recording studio.

For those who know me well, you just groaned.

Yes, I’m now on my 3rd kidney stone. It’s the worst. My 1st two were significantly more painful than this one. The doc has me on some med that facilitates passage, shall we say. It’s taking awhile, but it’s not as painful. Only one massive attack, and since then, only discomfort. So, in that regard, um, woohoo!

So, this has taken up the greater part of my psyche for the last 10 days for so. Had a CT scan this past Tuesday (where they discovered it). Tuesday was also the day I was most in pain. The worst part is you can feel it coming. You just have to brace yourself. My M.O. is to grab a pillow— and a quiet place— and SCREAM.

I’m back to work on getting the next single ready, but it hasn’t passed yet. Fingers crossed it happens soon.
