Like A Rolling Stone...

Okay, so there are the Rolling Stones - and there is the song, "like a rolling stone", and while we're at it, there is even the good old expression "Killing two birds with one stone"...these are all examples of good stones, i.e., the stone on a wedding ring, etc etc etc... want to know the example of a bad stone:

A Bladder Stone, or rather Bladder Stones!

Yes, I've been told I have bladder stones.  apparently one can get stones in there.  although i don't see how, its not like i go around drinking smoothies made with rocks, or chew on dirt.  but hey, somehow those little suckers have made their way into this work of art, i call my body - wink!.  while i may be joking, this experience of pain, discomfort, nausea and down right feeling of icky-ughness has highlighted something very important to me: I Don't Drink Enough Water!  Its okay, one must first admit the problem before committing to addressing it.  and so, my sick little bladder - i pledge from now on to drink more then enough water in hopes that the experience of actually passing the stone(s) is not as bad and painful as i am envisioning it to be.  Really, I once heard a doctor say that the experience of passing a stone or stones, is as comparable in PAIN, 2nd to having a child...I don't want to give birth, and i don't want to pass stones...EVER.

so there you have it.  drink plenty of water folks and take good care of your bodies.  As you get older, all those little days of not eating right and living a healthy life will catch up with you and kick  you in the groin...

City john must go now and drink his cranberry juice!


Update:  Yes it was every bit as painful to pass what i hope is only a very few amount of stones...you want to hear a grown man almost cry complain like a 10 year old kid, have him experience kidney stones...
