I was in a car accident on Friday. What was going on......last Friday?!! Man, the hospital is NO fun, (If you wanna stay healthy, stay out of hospitals!), but they can get you over the hump! I've never even heard the medical term of what you've got, which is kidney stones!! Now I'm going to study it, more! Stay well my friend, drink plenty of water with some lemon, and be Thankful you got back to the Orchard before this happened to you in New Mexico!!

So sorry to hear about the kidney stones. My brother-in law has been in the ER numerous times for them. He has had procedures to blast them also. One of the things that's helped him quite a bit is adding lemon juice to his diet (a couple squeezes of lemon with the water you need to be drinking). It's helped him tremendously. He is regularly monitored and has had no problems since he started doing that. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Rest up...relax as much as you can. Read something fun and get well. A friend of mine suffered from kidney stones, I asked him how bad it was. He said it like "pissing out razor blades". That said it all for me. Get well.

Take good care of yourself.

I’ve had kidney cancer three times now, but none of those were as painful as what you went through. Healing from the surgeries has sucked, but I’ve got some cool scars to show for it.

Take care.
