Ok, as promised, here’s a health update.

I went to the Dr this week. After being told that the stent would be removed at this apt, I was excited to get it OUT (it burns soooo bad. Imagine that UTI burn but constant…..)
After he looks at the CT scan, he realized the stent was not coming out. There are SIX more stones, same size or bigger. There are also 2 that are lodged in my kidneys. Those are too risky to remove so they will stay. It was decided the stent stays in and surgery would be sch to retreive those stones. July 14th. Another 3 weeks with this awful stent.
Effects Im dealing with on a daily basis:
The pain when those stones move is HORRIBLE. And with so many in there, they’re moving almost constantly. As the wave of pain from the moving hits, shortly after I’m wet with sweat. Out of nowhere I’m ringing wet and running to the bathroom. When the pain in the kidneys hit, it triggers the throwing up sensation. So I’m throwing up, ringing wet and I haven’t even talked about what my back feels like……
The stones also cause pain in the back and side. My right side is in a constant string of pain-either the lower front side or my entire back.
Now, mix in some burning along w the inability to sleep and that’s where I’m at!
I’m fine and I’m going to live but until these stones and stent come out, I’m absolutely miserable.
I have some help planned for baking for the 4th of July weekend and plan to attend the market. Itll be tough and I may not have as much as I usually do, but I’m planning on attending (fingers crossed and God willing).
Thanks for being so understanding everyone. I appreciate the calls, texts and messages.
Now excuse me while I go and drink my daily 7 gals of water (it’s not ACTUALLY 7 gals, it just feels like it. I don’t even drink my 1 mtn dew every day that I allow myself. Water water and more WATER…..)

On a WONDERFUL note: Collin and I finished planting the garden yesterday. Yayyyyy for that! I’ll take pics later when I go out to check things (ya know, bcuz it probably grew a noticeable
Amount over night-right 🤣)

Nah, I didn’t think so! Good thing Alayna is off. Hopefully she can light a fire under me to get it DONE.

Wish me luck…..

Shout out to my moral support crew! They don’t do much for helping around the house but when I need a snuggle buddy, there is ALWAYS more than 1!

Due to some nasty side effects from the meds I’ve been taking, we will NOT be at market again this week. It breaks my heart to say but I just can’t do it.
For me to bake everything I bring to the market, it takes 3 days of prep before I show up with my goodies. Unfortunately I feel so sh*tty that I wouldn’t even be able to pull off ONE of those days, let alone 3. So, it is with a heavy heart that I bow out of this weeks market.
I still don’t have my garden planted and have no idea when I will feel up to planting. I’m starting to get stressed that I’m running out of time…..

Yayyyyyy!!! That’s us!
Come down and check out the market! We’re growing fast!!
