Things that make you go hmmmm...

I don't want all my post to be downers but I found out something today that has just amazed me and is sad too.

My uncle on my father's side of the family has been in the hospital for over a week with different types of problems (he is 83 years old and hasn't been in good health for a few years now). Last night my cousin called me to let me know that my uncle would be going through a procedure today to remove kidney stones. At first, I was thinking the traditional ways they are helped along to pass but she went on to tell me that it was going to be an operation. The doctor told the family that in his two kidneys he has a total of 6 stones and 4 of them are the size of GOLF BALLS! GOLF BALLS! The doctor said it was the largest stones he has ever seen.

I am still baffled by it all...hell can you imagine the incision size!
