I don’t want to argue lol because I do deeply feel bad for all victims in this horrendous situation including the mother. But I do truly think she still needs to be held accountable.

If I’m being super honest it seemed like NONE OF THEM UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING GOING ON AROUND THEM. (I’m from the Midwest not rural but I’ve been in and around my fair share so I know there’s a knowledge gap) the grandma and grandpa looked like they were not even sure where they were.

Like the fact that (to my knowledge) none of the neighbors or interviewees talked about interacting with the older adults. Are they mentally sound? Do they actually know what’s happening ? What if they are victims of son and wife now? (I don’t really believe this but my mind has asked it lol)

Idk. I just feel so deeply saddened and lost on how Ohio is going to truly assist these children.

I’m battling a 5mm in my right kidney- it was 10mm but I got the shockwave procedure we thought it was gone but I guess my gassy intestines blocked the remaining 5mm LOL

I’ve been looking at my most recent ct and for the life of me I can’t see the stone OR even find my kidneys lmao. Have you guys been able to see your stones on the imaging?

Hey guys! Reaching out because I am a health anxious person who just so happens to be battling kidney stones randomly this year lol. August I passed one and had an ultrasound procedure done on another.

Flash forward- passed two? Yesterday / found out I have a 5mm one hanging out in my right kidney and I go on a trip tomorrow. So now I just want to cancel my whole non refundable trip lol. I know a lot of you deal with this more regularly and I’m sure still live your life. Any tips or reassurance? I almost wish they didn’t tell me LOL

**edit to add**
I am on uti antibiotics since yesterday along with some uti pain meds! Not sure if that makes a difference but I figured I’d add

I would’ve considered myself 80% recovered for the last 4 years. Now I’m facing a trip tomorrow and a new discovery with my health. As we age things go wrong, shit comes up- how do we navigate these things without it becoming a major setback?

For example- if I wasn’t going on a trip, this health issue I have wouldn’t be a big deal. I’d be managing and navigating myself. But now with another aspect introduced, I find myself in a setback.

I do know the reality is, you keep going. You push forward, take the trip, live your life. I guess I’m upset that I’ve come this far, just to find that my brain will still look for reasons to be unfair.

I took the capsule form of magnesium citrate (250mg) to help with constipation I had been having.

Timeline:

Saturday night-took the supplement
Sunday around 12pm- we had movement that basically lasted into early early monday morning.
Monday- minimal activity to no activity but crampy stomach still.
Today- STILL LIQUID 😭

I did make the terrible mistake of having coffee today because yesterday went so good. But how long does it take for me to not have 75% liquid stools?! Should I push the brat diet for the next two days? (I am hydrating as well)
