Update on my health situation

[thelake]

I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks for all your good wishes on my last "kidney stone nightmare" entry. Still not sure if I actually passed the stone, but I have very little to no pain at all. Trying to be optimistic, but I can never know when the next hideous pain attack will happen. Either I learned to live with it or the stone is disolved and trying to find its way out without giving too much pain.

Of course whenever modern medicine falls short on giving answers, we turn our faces to herbs and vegetables. Today I started taking herbal pills, Gilaburu juice and golden herb tea. I will be pumped with so much antioxidant by the end of next week, I might become immortal in the process. FINGERS CROSSED!

Also, I'm trying to drink a lot of water, but despite my best efforts, I can't drink more than 2 liters (which is approximately half a gallon) without wanting puke my soul out. FAIL. I might stop drinking water altogether after I get over this tiny stone incident. My mom hates drinking water and I could never understand her feelings towards the tastless, colorless life substance, but now I know. I know mother, I know how awful it is. I will never ever tease you about it ever again!

On a completely different note: how many of you think Firefox 4 sucks meatballs? Because I do. I would rollback to 3-point-whatever if I wasn't so lazy.

In other news;
- I finished 3 seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch in 3 days which was awesome when I wasn't jumping up and down in pain. I remembered how much I missed that universe ♥
- Started watching The Good Wife. Done with 2 episodes for now and I liked it! :D

That's pretty much it. I have a nagging little ache on the left side of my back at the moment, but I'm ignoring it.

Also, I've been away from work for 3 days and it was awesome... when I wasn't jumping up and down in pain. Although it wasn't the vacation I dreamt about, it is still okay. I'm going back to my usual workload on Monday and hoping not to have any terrible kidney pain attack during the day. My worst nightmare is finding myself jumping up and down in pain in front of everyone. I simply cannot do it.

Yup, that's it.

HELL YEAH.
Umarım. I'll be whiny and achy and bitchy so they better treat me well.

YAY you're better :X:X:X

I'm thinking to watch The Good Wife but I don't know... Maybe at summer...

:X:x

İki bölüm izledim daha bir şey görmedim eminim, ama avukatlar, davalar, aldatan kocalar falan. Tam drama...

Glad to hear that you're feeling better!

And good idea with the antioxidants! Maybe try some green tea as well? I'm not crazy about the taste, but I've heard that it boosts your metabolism, has great antioxidants, and hydrates you faster than water does.

Thanks!

Hey I completely forgot about green tea, will try, thanks :)

You won't know if you pass it unless you are straining your urine. You won't feel it pass. If the pain is gone then either it moved back up into the kidney or was very small and passed into the bladder. Either way I'm glad you are feeling better.

[thelake.livejournal.com]

Ugh I hope it didn't move up to the kidney. It was already out and on its way down, so it probably went away before I realized.
Thanks :D

FINALLY STARTED WATCHING TGW. ONLY TOOK YOU FOREVER. WAIT TIL IT GETS EVEN MORE AWESOME. \o/

[thelake.livejournal.com]

I KNOW IT TOOK ME FOREVER, BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT? :D

[katayla.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! You're watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch! I should hunt that done someday. I never saw the last few seasons.

And I'm glad you're feeling better! <3

I don't remember anything after Season 4!
At first I was downloading the whole thing but I got frustrated and bought the DVDs yesterday :)) Will continue when they arrive :D

Thanks dear, I'm almost completely healed today. ♥
