He's here! At 10:03PM last night, my 3mm stone was delivered. I'm so proud.

Ouch
What began as a typical day has become yet another time for reflection.
I called Melissa this morning from my office to tell her I was afraid the sudden pain I was feeling was eerily similar to the kidney stone issues of the past (six years ago, in fact). She went immediately into management mode, remembering the not so pleasant experience we both went through last time this happened.
Being my typical self, I thought about all the other things I had to do today (namely, teach three classes) that would be impacted if I went to the doctor or ER. She insisted on taking me to the doctor right away...
Turns out that my worst fears were true. I'm dealing with another stone. The good news is that I at least knew what was happening this time and Melissa was quick to get me to the doctor.
When you have something like this trying to leave, it hurts. When you are told to stop eating ice cream, it REALLY hurts!
