Late in the day yesterday, I passed another kidney stone. This one measured 5mm by 3mm. I have been feeling a little under the weather for the last few days but did not make the connection. Back in April, a CAT scan revealed that I had about a dozen stones in my kidney. By my count, that leaves another 8 or so to go. With encouragement from Jeanine and a new Soda Stream machine, I have been drinking considerably more water than in the past. On a positive note, the lower back pain from which I have been suffering for the last year seems to be abating. That, or my brain has rewired itself to ignore those nerves. Either way, I am grateful.
