Read at your own risk!

This story may gross you all out, but to me it's one of the most exciting events in my lifetime. It's now going to get more graphic and so read at your own risk...

Well about one year ago I developed a big swollen something under my tongue.  Ya know the weird little veiny things under the tongue? Well it seemed as though I had a rock or something very hard in my vein or gland.  It bothered me a lot, and it would always get inflamed.  I didn't think much of it, until my dear friend Doctor Jake Atwood diagnosed me with officially having some stone like thing (such as a kidney stone) under my tongue that a doc would possibly need to cut out, or milk it out somehow. (He did say this with much more intellect).  Well if you're still reading and you think this is gross, please stop now.  But if you are as fascinated as me, keep on reading...

So if you know me well enough, you should know that I wasn't any too anxious to get to the doctor, and so my little tongue stone remained.  Luckily, I went home earlier this month and got to visit with my favorite doctor;  Doctor Lafferty a.k.a Papa Lafferty,  and so I had him test me.  He gave me a trusty vitamin, and said very confidently, "now it'll go away!"  

Sure enough less than two weeks later I started feeling a hard pokey thing under my tongue.  I was now giving birth to my stone!!  About 6 or 7 hours in labor, I delivered my little guy in my truck.  He was so much bigger than expected, and really unfortunate looking.  Take a look yourself, and sorry if anyone is feeling a bit queezy right now! ;)
