From a lovely trip to Disneyland:

Notice the one red in the middle

Yeah, me too!  Turns out I got a kidney stone and spent some days in the hospital after surgery.  *sigh*  The photo of the day is in honor of my stone.

This picture is not gross, but if you’re grossed out by medical stuff, you should maybe pass this one by.  (…but if you do, I’ll call you a wuss!)

After all the stones and fragments are removed the doctor inserts a stent, which is a tube that goes from the kidney to the bladder, which is removed a number of days later.  Here is my removed stent….

Stent

Oh hi…I took a little time off, I got in a little bit of a funk…I’m back now, though!  Sorry to anyone who dealt with me over the past week…  Love Pove…mean it!

Today’s post is a story and a number of photos for the photo of the day.  Enjoy!

My friend qwendykay‘s son has had a bowl cut since he’s had hair…and while it served him well for his younger years, he’s now old enough that he needs to move on with the times.  I’ve been suggesting it for years…yes, years!  here and…(well, I know there are other times I’ve commented, but I’m too lazy to look through ALL the posts.)

qwendykay and I finally convinced him that he needed a new style.  I enthusiastically said (over and over) you’d be SO COOL with spikes, or a mohawk!  Finally, he….said….YES!  Honestly, I don’t think anyone was happier than me.  Really, I don’t.  Though Sandy seemed pretty happy;  I could tell by her enthusiastic licking of the floor!

Here are a couple of befores:
