Are you going to have Pancho stuffed and mounted? I imagine there are a few good taxidermists in your area. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I want him in a jar. I intend on asking for it.😃 I don’t think they let you do that. They wouldn’t give me the melanoma they took off my back forty years ago. Dad once gave an elderly woman in saw walking on a cold night a ride home. She asked him in for coffee. She had her late husband’s eye in a jar on the mantle. Dad said it floated around and looked at him, where ever he moved. He left rather quickly. ---

Beck– Get a kidney from the butcher. Put it in a canning jar, fill it with moonshine or Everclear. Set the jar in prominent place. Don’t say ANYTHING. ~VOW ---

From everyone I hear how painful kidney stones are. They must be horrendous. I have some lower back pain. It’s not too bad except in the morning. As soon as I pee it’s relieved. I’ve been fever-y today. I’ve been laying around drinking water and trying to eat. The family came and sat around looking at me like I had 2 heads. DIL asked me questions and ran my CGM numbers. They’ve determined I’ll be fine tonight. I got to the clinic \*,for more meds in my PICC line, tomorrow. I’m counting on a good weekend. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > From everyone I hear how painful kidney stones are. They must be horrendous. They are very un-fun. I’ve had four – I did have female doctors tell me that the pain I experienced was comparable to the pain of childbirth. :eek: After four of those, I finally figured out that I wasn’t drinking enough water. I’m now 20 years stone-free. _knocks on wood_ ---

I’m gonna take a guess as to your lower back pain. You have it in the morning, as you are waking up? While you sleep, all those gallons of water are being processed by at least one kidney. And it all collects in that convenient reservoir, the bladder. You’ve been drinking more, right? You are asking your poor bladder to hold more than usual! When you are lying in bed, the pressure of that full-er bladder is transferred to your lower back. As soon as you wake up, you jump out of bed and run to the bathroom? Empty bladder = no pressure on your lower back = no back pain. ~VOW ---

Dammit. Beck, I just finished watching Episode 8 of the documentary series Country Music by Ken Burns. And NOW I know why your kidneys are called Pancho and Lefty. :smack::smack::smack: Oh well - this English boy came to Country late, I suppose. That’s my excuse.:o (And, of course, here’s hoping everything goes well surgery-wise.) j ---
