Stones...
 

Of the kidney type. :(

Have had them all my life, so I am used to them. The colics I felt this morning were unbearable.

After a trip to the emergency room, a CT Scan, and some mophine, I am laying in bed "comfortably." They found a stone lodged in each urethra -- one of them about half inch long. There are also several IN the kidneys.

Will be going in tomorrow for surgery. In layman terms, they'll stick a stent up my member, and fish them out -- though the larger one may have to be blasted with lasers. They can't do that ultrasound blast thing because they are in the pelvic region, and it would not work.

Fun, fun, fun... :p

I've got a gospel song here called "Can I Hurl This Stone?". I'll give it a spin in thy honor. :D Speedy resolution and recovery, Juan.

Thank you very much, sir!

Juan

Godspeed, Juan! I wish you a smooth and safe passage.

I'm feeling your pain just reading your description, Juan. Bring on the morphine :thumbup:

Hope everything goes fine with the surgery. And they better have WiFi there in the hospital so that you can stay connected to everything happening here :D

Ouch... My friend's mom has had kidney stone operations. Good luck!

Good luck Juan - ugh.

Speedy recover to you.

"I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles." Psalm 34:4-6

Juan,

I have only had one stone in my life and it is not something I ever want to experience again. Best wishes for a speedy precedure and recovery. I hope they keep you very comfortable. Let us know your status as soon as you can.

Juan.. good luck bro.. we'll keep u in our prayers.
