Well...Christmas was pretty good to me! My first one with my 8 month old son! Watching him play with all of his new stuff has been awesome! The one thing I received this year that I did not want was a kidney stone...one that was 4mm in size and not passable! The last two that I have had have been about 1mm in size and I have always passed them in about 12 hours of having had the pains kick in! For those of you who have never had a kidney stone...they say this is the male equivalent to giving birth! And believe me...IT HURTS! It started Sunday night after Christmas with some pain and the constant urge to piss! Went to the ER on Monday morning and got a shot of dalodin(sp?) which makes all the pain go away and makes you feel all nice and warm and fuzzy inside:P! X-rays and a CT-scan showed where it was and the size of it! Was sent home with some scripts for some good pain killers and a pee-strainer! Well...six hours later I was back at the ER doubled up in pain and vomitting! The pain killers were not working! I got another shot of dalodin which wore off before I left the ER and was given another shot just before I left! Was given another script for better pain killers and was told to call the Urologist the next day! Called the Urologist and was rushed in to see him! He gave me the bad news that the stone was now imbedded somewhere! I was given a new script for even better pain meds and was scheduled to have the stone removed! Well by now it is Thursday, pain killers make time fly by, and my surgery is at 9am on Friday! For those of you who have never had a stone removed they put you in twilight sleep(not completely under) and shove this shit up through your peehole and scoop the stone out! After the stone is removed you have a cathater(sp?) going through your peehole up to your bladder which is attached to a bag which drains piss and blood 24/7! You HAVE to drink a glass of water every hour to clean out your system! After the piss begins to clear up you can remove the cathater(sp?) and start to TRY to piss normally! I took it out Saturday night and have been off the pain meds since then! I still have a stint inside of me which has to be removed! A stint is a plastic tube which runs from the kidney to the bladder to keep anymore stones from getting caught up in the there! As I type this now I am waiting to hear back from the Urologist when I can come in and have it removed and when they remove it the will do a cystoscopy at the same time....that is they will explore through my peehole from my kidney to my bladder for anything that shouldn't be there! Yes....all this will be done through my peehole!
For those of you who took the time to read this whole thing I want to thank you for allowing me to waste part of your day! Happy New Year!!!
