Found some new bread on the shelf at the grocery store. Looks like someone's trying to pay for the rearing of a child - probably a girl. How do I know?
On the side of the package they have the reason they're selling the bread:
"Raisin' Cinnamon" - lots more likely to be a girl they're raisin' than a boy.

Passing a kidney stone is enough for me.

I understand that's a Biblical event: "And This Too Shall Pass" 2 Corinthians 4:17-18.

Oxy, hyrocodone, not of it worked. It took Toradol for me, a super NSAID. And it was quite a religious event... Twice.

Toradol and I don't get along well...last (and only) time I had it my BP dropped to 80/40. Nurses were quite surprised I was still walking & talking. They went full crazy for the next week running multiple tests to ensure they hadn't caused any sort of permanent damage to me...most likely to cover their backsides.

Some of those BP things are age-related. Almost everyone over age 70 has some degree of MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which is a blood cell production issue with the bone marrow not making enough red and white cells and making some deformed cells. NSAIDS can cause intestinal bleeding so they can cause a drop in blood pressure - the more powerful the NSAID, the bigger the drop is likely to be. My primary care physician took me off the daily aspirin for my heart and told me "No aspirin, Excedrin (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen sodium)" when the blood tests from my yearly physical had a lot of things at or just below the recommended lower limits. Doing the things he said did improve the blood counts but some items are still no more that 5% above the minimums :-(
Statictically, 5% of those diagnosed with MGUS will develop some type of blood cancer over the five years after diagnosis - just 2 1/2 years to go to see if I'm one of the lucky few.
