kidney stones

Thanks guys...I got a call into the Urologist and just waiting for a call back...

 

Well, I got surgery Wednesday (4/6) and will be off the rest of the week.
The Lithotropsy (sp?) requires General Anesthesia.

I'm in fairly good pain right now but managing...I got some Oxy at least....if it ever kicks in

 

'Lucky' for me, mine passed when I urinated. The worst pain I ever had! That was around 5 years ago...

 

In some cases, DEATH would be welcome...

 

Funny...I have a wife and two kids too...

 

So I had the procedure last week and now we just wait...another x-ray in a week or so but no more 'major' pain. Hard to tell if the procedure was a success or not until the x-ray....But I presume so..

 

great your feeling better good luck

 

i think i have a major gravel pit in my kidneys--got rid of that huge one amonth or so back---now i have some more---not tooo bad--just like being smacked by a baseball bat in the back--not the laying in a fetal poition puking up bile yet

 

Some trivia....Visit to Emergency Room was $5,500.00 not including Doctor charge. That's pending.
Surgery last Wednesday was $23,512.00 not including the Surgeon and Anesthesia charges.....Those are pending...



...yea, I have decent health insurance but still.....
