Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2003. I think this photo is a riot! I can still remember taking it. We took Mattie to Los Angeles for the first time. He was 11 months old and was VERY confused by the three hour time difference. So he literally got up for the first several days at 3 or 4 in the morning. Mattie was up and alert while Peter and I were wiped out. Which was why Peter gave me that funny delirious look you see in this photo.
Quote of the day: (picture a chicken talking to a farmer).... Big deal, so you passed a kidney stone.... think about what I do for a living. ~ Brian Fray
Last night I tried drinking 2 ounces of olive oil mixed with 2 ounces of lemon juice. It sounds reasonable, especially when you think about these ingredients making up most salad dressings. Well the only difference is on a salad it works, but on its own.... it's a nightmare. It was hard to swallow, but I got it down. However, for the remainder of the evening and night, I felt sick to my stomach. Which made me wonder if this recipe was for kidney stones or to address an upset stomach? Because if you are feeling queasy, this recipe is practically guaranteed to force the issue up and out.
So NO more olive oil and lemon juice for me. But today, I decided to try the second half of the recipe..... water with apple cider vinegar. The verdict is still out on this, but I would have to say I am trying just about everything possible to pass this stone on my own.
