As it turns out my body has produced some pretty good sized calcium stones and the big one (at least 8 mm) tried to take a slide to the nearest exit and got stuck. So later this week I'm going to have a quick out patient surgery to have it broken up and taken out. The doc is kind enough to take the others with him while he is in there.
Thanks to some prescription pain killers I really just have a mild back ache most of the time. Mike of course hasn't let me lift a finger and has kept me away from the car keys as well! I have had awesome friends in the ward taking care of me, driving me around, watching Annabelle - so far I have been on something of a "stay-cation". Seriously: personal drivers, live-in chef and house keeper, a part time nanny and the overall feeling of relaxation (yes, some of that feeling could be due to the drugs). Ha ha!
Anyway, life goes on. It will all be fine. Poor Asa won't be able to nurse for 5 days after the procedure due to some antibiotics that I will be on and I only have enough milk frozen for a day or two . . . so we've gotta introduce formula, hopefully he likes it because there isn't much of a choice!

Welcome to the club my friend!
oo, sorry about that tia! that doesn't sound like any fun. hopefully those little buggers get out of you soon! we miss you.
oh no!! how dreadful! I am so, so sorry. hang in there -- only a few more days, right? yuck!!
Oh I wish I was there to help out, any excuse to get my hands on Asa. Remember it will probably help if the formula is very warm. Good Luck. It is funny how many women experience this after child birth. You think they could find a link.
I'm so sorry Tia! Glad you're not in too much pain and that you have lots of help. Hope everything goes well, and I hope the formula goes well for Asa! I'm so sorry! Hang in there!
Oh Tia! I'm so sorry! That sucks. I had a big kidney stone my freshman year of college and had to have it broken up too. It's not fun. I hope everything goes well in the surgery for you!! :)
Welcome to the club Tia, you're one of us few and brave Stoners now :-)
I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. If there is anything else you need, PLEASE don't hesitate to call. We are free pretty much most of the time and love to help out! I hope the surgery goes well!
Make sure you still pump while he's not nursing so you don't lose your milk if you want to keep nursing. eehhh I ache for you! Good luck with everything!!!!
Hopefully you can go from being a stoner to a big time drinker! H20 anyhow :)
love,
Dad
