OH NO!

Oh dear. Poor Brad has spent this latter half of the week dealing with the passage of his first kidney stones. It's horrible to see him in so much pain. A very kind nurse at the ER gave us this unusual home remedy. She said it helped her husband pass his kidney stone the first day he tried it. What you do is drink 6 ounces of Coke Classic on an empty stomach every half hour. Brad can't stand the taste of Coke but he's giving it a try. It seems to be the least costly and most helpful advice we've gotten so far.

Oh, Great Pumpkin - Please let Brad get rid of this stone and NEVER develop another one again. Thank you.

Wow, aren't those pictures of kidney stones gnarly? I thought they would be like little round balls. No wonder he was doubled over in pain last night. Oh the poor guy, geez.

My brother had one of these. Gross. I hope Brad is feeling better. I know they are very, very painful.
