Sorry I've been MIA lately.

I have a 6mm kidney stone that can not be passed. I ended up in the ER last Tuesday and have been on pain meds since then. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 1pm, have to be there by 11am. I expect to be out of it Monday and Tuesday, possibly Wednesday.

Thanks for the concern, I am so ready for this to be over.

On the upside, I lost some more weight. ;)
