What are you curious about?

I’m curious to see how big my kidney stones grew this year with the hottest July on record. I’ve had them for over 10 years and had 2 operations. Calcium Oxalate are the kind I have and no matter how much coconut water helps me to reduce them, I had an attack the last 2 days that remind me that my yearly appointment is in weeks.

The last cake I made was a kidney stone cake for my doctor 7 years ago. He loved it and I thought I was done after surgery with stones. Not the case. Dehydration causes stones and my kinda are caused by spinach, chocolate and oxalates which clearly are not labeled on foods 🤣

So I’m curious to see if my stones grew to the point of another operation and a slip and slide stent which lets the stones slide out of you with less pain.

So let the countdown begin til my next scan. I stopped naming my stones Chip and Dale when 7 more formed. To anyone who has them, I feel your pain!
