Well there are things you can do to help with kidney stones...but his aren't big enough that they will do surgery. I've been having him drink fresh lemonade and drinking black cherry juice though from time-to-time, both are supposed to help dissolve them (if they aren't too big). He's actually not had any real pains from them in quite some time, so maybe it's helping.
We are managing to have some closeness too....although we did have quite a dry spell lately...broke that this past weekend. He's actually been doing much better all around lately (gotta give him credit where credit's due.) I see him working on being a happier person, being not so defensive, thinking differently about things....he seems to be making this paradigm shift in his way of doing things and it's so interesting to watch. I think that (and the intermittant kidney stone pain) have something to do with the dry spell we had. I imagine it takes quite a bit of direct thought for him to make the changes he has been making....for him to do that, I can easily see how he would have a tough time concentrating on both.
Last night though he was being really playful with me and kept smacking me on the butt (very atypical for him in the past)....he's also been commenting quite a bit on my chest. It appears he's beginning to make this happier, new approach to things in life more of a habit now...and so is able to also introduce other things to work on....like being physical with me.
Honestly guys....this man has made some BIG changes this year.
