Been Missing In Action for awhile *updated October 20th, post 27*

[kittycats_delight]

Just wanted to let you guys know I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I have spent the last week either curled up in a ball or passed out sleeping.

A week ago I was in a crapload of pain ended up going to the ER. Found out after 6 hours and countless tests I have kidney stones again. It has been about 7 years since I last had them. So today I am semi-lucid. I am actually sitting eating right now which is why I am letting you all know whats up. Anyway, they said I should pass the stones in about 5 days. Naaaa not happening. So I am taking to injections a day for pain and sleeping a lot. If something doesn't happen and if I don't pass these stones this weekend then it is back to the ER monday to get something done. A week of torture is more than enough.

I am still alive and kicking and even screaming now and then LOL When I finally get back on my feet (no pun intented) I will check back in.

(((HUGS to all)))

Oh kidney stones! That hurts so badly! My dad had them from time to time.
The good thing is even if you should not pass them they can be destroyed by ultrasound now.
All the best for you.

Thanks guys for all the well wishes. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to everyone. My internet was on the fritz for the last 2 weeks and I have been back and forth 3 times now to the ER. Basically this is what has been happening...

Well, Mister Kidney Stone is still with me. It has been about 3 weeks now. I was first told it was a little one of 3 mm. Then was told 4 mm and then 5 mm. So finally the dr. ordered a cat scan done to fine out exactly what they were dealing with in case surgery was needed. Well, Mister Kidney Stone is a rare type of stone that does not show in xray or ultrasound. And this baby is 1 cm. The dr was shocked by the size of the thing. He actually resonded with a pretty nasty blasphemy. And stunned that it has managed to work its way down to the end of the canal (can remember the name of it) between my kidney and my bladder. But now it is stuck. As it is a 1 cm stone trying to pass through a 4 mm opening. Don't think that is gonna work. BUT...doctor sent me home anyway to wait and see if I could pass it on my own. YEAH RIGHT!!! So right now I feel like I have a horrific water infection. I feel like I have to pee all the time, we are talking 24/7 and every couple of minutes I get an extra strong shot of 'pain' (not strong but like if someone were to push on your bladder if you really really have to pee). Fun stuff. This has been such a crappy month. I just want this damned stone gone so I can start to feel normal again. If this puppy is not gone by next Wednesday then it is back to the hospital to be hospitalized and have the bloody thing removed. Thanks again for thinking about me and wishing me well.

(((HUGS to everyone)))

You poor baby! Kidney stones run in our family - and I have seen my brother in agonizing pain. I felt so helpless it just made me cry.

I truly hope that you don't require surgery.

[xVelvet_FuzzButtx]
