Kidney Stones HURT !!!

Hi Ladies,


Just a quicky to let you know that I have to have surgery because of kidney stones. Last week I was sick and my tummy was real sore, I figured it was my IBS actting up again so of course I ignored it. Well, Saturday I ended up in the ER doubled up and as white as Casper. The Surgeon was ready to take out my apendix ( sp ) but wanted a CAT scan first. Good thing they did, I have 3 stones. 1 is stuck in the tube and 2 are in my right kidney. I passed pieces of the one that is trying to pass, but the others are too big. The pain was so bad I was hooked up to a Moriphine (sp) pump.


I'll check back in and let y'all know when I go in, it will be in the next couple of weeks. I just want to know why is it that when my life is going good something ALWAYS happens to kick me back :(


Hugs,


Robin

There you are!


I'm so sorry you are going through the pain of kidney stones but glad you are going to get them taken care of. Please keep us posted and take care of yourself. Take some time for YOU when all of this is over.

Owwwiee,

Didn't your momma ever tell you not to eat the stones. The birds need them for their wee little tummies! lol

Seriously, so sorry that you have the pain. Small note about things going bad. These are times that strenghthen your spirit and ability to move forward and above the circumstances. This time next year the stones will only be a bad memory sitting in a jar on your dresser! That is, if you want to keep those bad boys! Trying to make you smile here! ;)

{{{{{Robin}}}}}- I feel your pain mate, I have gallstones myself but at least with mine I have some ability to regulate the suffering by watching what I eat. I am on a waiting list to have my gallbladder whipped out which could be 6 months- apparently I dont suffer enough to have it taken out any sooner!
Hang in there, good stuff that morphine if it doesnt make you itch, give you headaches or make you sick! (that's what it did to Nat, me, I feel like I have been partying all week and get the giggles on the stuff!)

Hopefully they get them out asap and you will be all better again. I am thinking of you because they sound really really painful!

Ooooh (((wobin)))! I have never had stones, but my xh did while we were married. He also ended up in the er, and just like you they thought it was his appendix. When they realized it was stones (and I know the dr who saw him must never have had them, b/c she said "Oh, it's only stones. They'll pass. You're going home"). That night, he was on the bathroom floor curled up in a fetal position for hours. He (and I) honestly thought he was gonna die. From what I hear, they're as painful as going into labor, which I have been through. Hang in there sweetie. Hope you feel better soon!
