May 2017

peak months in the ER. She said that's just about the time that not drinking enough during the summer months catches up to people. I know that I've had 3 kidney stones over the years, and hubby has had 1 - both happened in late November. Not that I would ever wish that on someone - even Trump. It is pure hell, and I'm sitting here right now with a 7mm stone that I believe might be on the move (been getting twinges lately).
