Crocheted Stones

I apologize for lack of posts. Our family flew in from Ireland and I took the kiddos to NY to meet them and spend a few days.  On arrival back home I awoke at 2 am thinking Husband was stabbing me in the flank out of rage at having pink crown molding. Alas, it was a wee kidney stone, which was to terrorize me for a week. I didn't feel like blogging, knitting, or doing anything - and with a houseful of guests staying in bed is just the worst. I'm now feeling like Pink again and up running around, knitting, hosting houseguests and preventing Junior from pulling the tail of our new kitten, KitKat, which Juniorette got for her birthday. 

 

If I were a urologist, I would hang pictures of these crocheted stones on my waiting room walls. They're so much better than the labeled diagrams of the male urinary tract. I wish urologists would think outside the ureters a bit more. I think they should offer humor and optimism to people who are in pain or know that they're about to have the kidney stones agitated right out of them, industrial dryer style. It might also lighten the blow for females being prescribed Flomax, which I thought was strictly for the prostates, but apparently helps kidney stones along the river, too. It's sure is great to drive up to CVS to pick up one's Flomax.

What medicine are you waiting for?

Mumble mumble to the cute pharmacy tech.

What? Could you speak up, Miss?

Flomax!

Raised eyebrows. Ok, can you spell  your name?

Mumble mumble.

The indignity of it all.  I'm sure I'll get major spam from the prostate people now that I've named Flomax and Prostate in one sentence. I'm sure to become the leading Pink Prostate Blog, you just watch.

So glad you are okay with humor intact. Was getting concerned! Stones nooo fun. Have you seen providence optical.net? Pink in knitted cheaters. I'm sure you have already thought of this!

So glad you're back. I was worried about you, thought you might be unwell, was actually going to take a picture and email it to you -- tomorrow morning if I could manage it by then -- in hopes that it would cheer you and speed your recovery.

Anyway, now you're back and you've sent us lovely pictures of stones of the happy kind. Thank you. I shall think of them at the first hint of a twinge.

Gosh, we've missed you!! Kidney stones are reported to be right up there with childbirth for pain, but last so much longer and no payoff at the end!! Glad you are back and better! Love the crochet stones!!
