Just an update. Thank you to all who have been praying for me and my kidney stone. I have been fortunate to escape horribly painful bouts other than last Monday. However, I am pretty sure that the little guy is still inside of me. It's hard to know for sure unless you're straining your urine. (I know -- yuck!) And urine straining is something I never do. It's just pretty awkward to carry a plastic strainer with you every place you go. However, based upon certain pain and burning I do have, I can pretty much tell that the stone is still there. (Been this road a few times before, I have.) I will just keep trying to wait it out for now. I have been very blessed to not have more pain that I have had.
