Home Remedy

Update: Good news and bad news...the good news is I haven't felt much pain lately but the bad news is I still have 2 stones, that I know of! I mean I'm sure one could have gotten away from me but I highly doubt it. Thanks again for all your prayers! I'll keep you updated!

Last night was not at all a typical Wednesday night. Normally I would be going to my Beth Moore bible study at church and Josh would be delivering a message and hanging out with some crazy teenagers. Instead I was at home drinking gallons of water and Josh was on his way to hang out with me.

When he arrived he looked like this...

And I looked like this.

Ha! Quite the unmatched pair. I didn't care though I still thought we needed to go get a few things at the store for a kidney stone home remedy. My friend Shannon called and said a man at our church took this remedy and passed his stone in a hour! Woohoo! Sign me up! It consists of olive oil and lemon juice. I researched it on the internet and found the same kind of information. Drinking this will help you pass a stone in less that 24 hours. As soon as Josh arrived we got in the car and headed out for some lemon juice. I already had the olive oil in my cabinet. I was excited about the thought of passing the stones without surgery but was not excited about drinking this...

It kept separating so I tried to stir before I chugged it.

I just had to hurry and go for it.

At first it wasn't bad. Just felt a little weird. Then the lemon juice hit. I chased it with a bottle of water but it didn't help that much. My mouth still felt like oil.

After a while it didn't seem to bother me anymore but then right before bed I started getting really queezy. Josh set me up a "barf" bag next to my bed in case I needed it. Fortuntely I didn't need it but unfortunately as of now still no stone. Oh well! I'll just keep waiting and praying. Thanks to all of you for your prayers! I REALLY appreciate them!

P.S. Isn't Josh a cutie??????
