Happy Thanksgiving 2023, or as I now call it, Second Kidney Stone of 2023 Day.

Great staff and doctors over at Methodist Richardson. They hustled me in, got me scanned, made the determination and I was on my way in under three hours. Past similar experiences have averaged six.

Of course, the pain meds were held up at the pharmacy due to a (expletive) insurance issue. That’s okay. I accept the pain. The pain is now my friend. I’m gonna have well-hydrated, low-sodium good times with the pain, until the pain dissipates.

Having said all that: stay healthy, kiddos. And love each other. Except for your Relative Karens and creepy uncles; you must educate them with kindness and patience.
