I was wondering what had happened to you Beck. I still have difficulties with this new board and thought maybe I’d missed something you’d posted. I’m sorry what I missed wasn’t good news at all. Here’s to a complete recovery and many new posts here. ---

Best thing about a kidney stone is not having it anymore. OTOH, some people _like_ those drugs. ---

I had several kidney stones when I was in my 20s (until I learned to drink more water). I kept one of them for a while – it was like a jagged little asteroid. No wonder it hurt like a mofo. _more hugs for the Beck_ ---

For you, friend **Beck** : _Not long ago, **Beck** sang the blues,_ _Because she had no happy news,_ _It had to do with a kidney stone._ _I closely watched the Bad Bad thread,_ _Some days with hope, some days with dread,_ _But the news about **Beck** remained unknown._ _And on the boards, the Dopers wrote,_ _From their locations, all remote,_ _About how we hoped to discover,_ _That friend **Beck** would recover._ _And of the things I admire most:_ _I like to see a good news post,_ _I’m so glad she was diagnosed,_ _And today, the kidney stone passed._ _And now we’re singing,_ _Bye, bye, kidney stone, you don’t last,_ _ **Beck** ’s in pain while you remain, but your time has now passed._ _And Dopers now can all raise a glass,_ _Singing, "This is the day the stone passed–_ _This is the day the stone passed."_ Enjoy, **Beck**! And I hope that you recover fully soon, and can rejoin us more frequently. ---

Thank you @Spoons, nice !! I got outdoors with the dogs this morning I wasn’t able to walk them far. But it felt good to be out roaming around a bit. I’ve had no more pain. Mr.W went back to the Lakehouse. Things are calmer around here. The Siamese are not ignoring me any more. But one of them hacked up a hairball on my bathroom rug. I found it the old fashioned way, yep! Stepped on it. Yuk! Bayliss, Betsy and the Chihuahuas are happy I’m up and about. So, so happy this episode is behind me. Thanks again for all you guys well-wishes. Makes an old Arky girl happy to have you for friends. Love you much. ---
