Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.

Yes, my daughter has had to have the larger stones that wouldn’t pass broken up. Hopefully, it won’t be an issue for him to pass. When they measured the stone it wasn’t very large. My husband said to me, “How can a little stone cause so much pain. He’s not a wuss like me. He can tolerate most pain but he says that the pain from kidney stones is pretty bad.
What causes these stones? My daughter has had them several times. This is the second go round for my husband. He had them not long ago. Does diet have anything to do with it? It’s supposed to be a calcium buildup. I guess I am wondering if they can be prevented somehow or is it a random experience?
I don't handle pain well. Pap smears are always extremely painful for me for some reason. I even fainted during one once. Don't even talk to me about dentists. Arghh! I go to a dentist now that uses sedation otherwise I'll have a panic attack.
My Dad passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was four years old. My mom told me that the doctors said his body was riddled with cancer already by the time it was found. Mind you this was in the 1960's. It's sad that it is still so hard to diagnose until it is too late in most cases.
Our bodies are fascinating. I admire nurses, doctors and others in the medical field. I can’t even imagine doing certain professions in medicine, in particular, a brain or heart surgeon. In my opinion, they earn every penny they make.
My cousin is a nurse anesthetist and she makes a good salary. She always says that she does most of the work with patients but the anesthesiologist makes a huge salary.
Hubby is still feeling badly. Hopefully, the stone will pass soon.
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. That’s awful. I understand how horribly you feel for your aunt too. Every parent wants to die before their children.
That is so very young to lose your father. I am so very sorry.
I appreciate the personal attention. The nurse understood that I lost track of scheduling my visit due to my recent loss of my mom and my husband’s health issues. It’s lovely to see people who have compassion. My doctor has gone above and beyond in caring for her patients.
I wish all doctors were as caring. She’s young, up on all new treatments, doesn’t overbook her appointments, caring but professional. My old doctor who was ready to retire became less interested in medicine. He scaled back his hours so much that it was hard to get an appointment. He hated having to keep records electronically and never failed to mention how he didn’t like ‘new’ changes. Honestly, if he hadn’t retired, I would have found a new doctor anyway.
When I selected my new doctor, I purposely chose a younger doctor who had wonderful training.
They have found something on my lastest breast ultrasound and I am going for a cone biopsy this coming Sunday. I'd appreciate prayers that all will turn out to be okay.
Always prayers for you!
And the specific request that your biopsy proves to be clear, and you are healthy.
I will certainly pray for you. I went through a biopsy several years back. It’s quite unnerving! Fortunately, the mass was benign. Wishing you peace as you go through this situation.
I know I'm probably worrying unnecessarily but still it helps to know others are praying too.
Thanks for prayers 💗. Hasn’t passed it yet. Hopefully, soon. He has had to take the pain meds that were prescribed because he was in pain. He isn’t one to whine or complain, so I know that he was hurting.
