I can really identify with this; I've know so many people now who, when they come to my home, just seem to do whatever they want without any regard for myself or my son.  There are a lot of people now that I make excuses not to see because I just don't want to listen to their drunken rambling or whatever their particular rant might be.   I think it's quite boring for the other person and to be honest I'd rather read a book than listen to it

How are you feeling, Bonesie, do you feel any better? xx

I hear ya, Tupp!!!

I'm slowly starting to feel human again but still waiting for the fragments to make an appearance.

Hi, Bones,
I hope you're feeling better.
I hate it when people are in pain.

Lithotripsy's a remarkable improvement over surgery but...it's hard to deal with kidney stones.
Hope it worked and the fragments left over are too small to cause great trouble.

Hops

[Meh]

Fascinating about lithotripsy, I also didn't know what it was. Had to look it up, it breaks apart the stones non-surgically with "shock waves". How the shock waves are localized to one little area I don't know, maybe they don't pin point that area.

Kidney stones are amazingly painful for such little objects.

Thankfully, it can be done under general anesthesia.

I thought the lad in the first letter sounded depressed, although equally I do know some older kids now who've absolutely no respect at all for their families.  It's one I always struggle with as I've no respect for my own family, but that's because of abuse, not through a lack of manners or gratitude for being helped out.  There aren't many positives about my family but they did teach me strong work ethics and the importance of good manners and they're two things that aren't always taught these days (and now I sound like my nan!).
