No..not you. Me.

Some may have been wondering if I have been a bit scarce lately, and why I haven't commented on some posts as normal.

Short story..

Went into hospital on Monday to have a kidney stone removed. That done, they also found a blocked tube, which they cut open. That left me with a catheter for a week.

Now I still have pain, and today the doc agreed with me that there might still be a stone in the kidney. So we have to wait on that and see after the catheter comes out.

So all in all, I am in pain and mainly reading the forum on my cellphone in bed, but can't reply.

Only logging in occasionally to post.

Only posting this to explain why I am not more active here. Please spare me the stories of kidney stones, catheters and all the other nasty stuff...I am panicked enough :lol:

Not my first stone, but the first they had to go in after. Anyways, the mods are handing things for me, and I am still around.

The first one to post a horror story about stones or catheters etc will earn himself a week's ban :glee: :rotfl:

Take care all, and drink LOTS of water daily!

No need to panic, I have been through this 13 years ago and even worse and I am still here pesting you all and have replaced water by wine and :beer: :beer: :lol: :lol:

 

I remember my frst visit to the surgeon after leaving the hospital. Upon reading my blood analysis, he told me I was drinking too much alcohol and me answering "Hi Doc, you told me to drink a lot but never precised it had to be water :rofl: :rofl:

All,

Thanks very much for the wishes, they really do help.

Just got home from the second stay in hospital this week. They went in again, poked around, said they took out a few more small stones, took out the catheter and sent me home. With the same side pain I had before I went in :?

Ah well..good to be home. Feel like I have been through a tumbledryer. Only time will tell how I feel in the next few days.

Anyways, appreciate all the thoughts. I will be a bit scarce, but I'll be around.

 

Regards,

Brian

Brian, Please accept my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I feel sure that now you are out of the clutches of the medics and at home among your swords you will recover far quicker.

Thanks Ian,

I went in for the second surgery because of severe and repeated pain in the right kidney.

The doc operated yet again yesterday (through all the swollen, bleeding and bruised areas that he operated on 3 days before) and yet last night I still have the same pain.

So 2 surgeries, one week, and I feel I am still back where I started.

Going to have to find a new urologist who can actually find out what is going on. Either that, or I am going to find my sharpest tanto and remove a kidney myself. You only need 1, right?

Damn its lowsy to hear u r suffering like that and i must say the do it yourself tanto idea is not at all a weird thought.

 

Basically you only need one, but its mighty frustrating indeed if you hurt and they (the men in white) cannot find it.
