Things have been really crazy! A month ago (time flies) we closed on our
first house! That next weekend I was helping move
a desk out of our basement and I hurt my back. Thankfully I was able to see a chiropracter (friend's dad) and he fixed my back. The next day I was working on invitations on the floor, sitting with my legs crossed, and leaning over (I now know... a BIG no no!) And, my back started killing me again. I thought I was going to die! It felt like I was in labor because there was no comfortable position!! So, back to the chiropracter and while i was there my stomach and back muscles started to spasm.... INTENSE pain!!!! After probably at least 30 min. we got the muscles to stop spasming, but i was still in major pain. He told me something else was going on and I needed to go to the ER. So, there we went. A cat scan and some morphine later.... a big old 9mm kidney stone had moved out of my kidney and was stuck just outside my bladder. You know how they say kidney stones are worse than labor? THEY ARE!!! So a couple days on morphine and a million gallons of water... i went in for surgery to remove the stone. They just went in through the urethra with a scope, broke it up, and pulled it out. (I'm glad I was asleep!) They then left a shunt in to drain my kidney, which was removed a week later and I wish I would have taken a picture of that thing! It was HUGE!!!! Definitely at least a foot long!!!! I don't know how it fit in there! Anyway.... thankfully we have amazing family near by and my sister-in-law (ROSE) took care of my little boys for a week!!!! My mother-in-law was also able to come and help clean/babysit/unpack... since that was the weekend we had to move out of our "garage"! good timing huh? *wink* So, basically I spent a week in bed and these pictures are the result of some serious bed head!!! Rose lovingly named it "duck butt" hair. Well, I am feeling back to my old self and I hope to never experience that again! Soon, I will post pics of the progress on our teeny basement and what our new house looks like. Also... Rose and I have been bored lately.... VERY bored. When that happens we do some crazy things......... to be continued........ ;o)

Oh my! that is no fun I have had three kidney stones nothing that bad though and definatly worse than labor! I feel so bad for you! congrats on the new house that is really exciting!
Argh argh argh. I had a kidney stone once, too, right before I was supposed to go to sea. I had a nurse tell me that it's worse than labor, too, so I guess any future missuses got nothin' on me. :P
So I totally feel your pain. Hopefully cranberry juice has found its way into your diet, and you never ever have to go through that again. :(
sorry to hear about the kidney stones :( hope you're feeling better. congrats on the new house :)Breanna (Gerlach) Suhr
NICE HAIR! That is my only problem with short hair, it does funny things when you sleep on it. I had such a day this last week and I should have taken a picture! Next time I will. I can't wait to see your house--I should just come over one of these days.
