Got a better look at the new default format of the posting page. I kinda brushed over it yesterday in my haste to get that all out, but good grief, this thing is hideous now. Everything that used to be simple is now overly complicated in an effort to... I don't know... try and make everything look more like a series of big bubbles? That could have been done without trying to splay every possible posting option across the top of the page. Who pays their designers? Seriously. They've really cut budget in that department.
Anyway, my doctor's appointment this morning had good and bad news. The good news is that 5mm kidney stone that sent me into the ER on the first of the year seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. I should have felt that pass, but I never saw anything, never felt anything, and never caught anything while straining, but the CT scans showed nothing in my bladder anymore. Awesome news! That means I won't be having surgery to remove the damn thing. Bad news isn't really that bad. I have a second, much smaller stone still in my kidney, but the doctor isn't worried about it. Basically, I need to drink more water on top of everything. Simple as that. It'll either pass or dissolve or something. Personally, I'm hoping for it to dissolve like the other one did. After that nightmare, I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemies. They like to say there are things worse than death, and although I wouldn't rather be dead than had to have endured that ordeal, I think it's safe to say I've finally found one of those things.
Drink your water. For the love of little kittens and everything that's cute, drink your goddamn water. Or just anything liquid. Quantity over quality, though things less acidic are your best bet.
