Well back to the hospital for that Kidny stone problem i had, After passing the first one they took Xrays and found 3 more. Choices were to let them pass on their own,But you never know when theyll drop or have this done.

They sedate you and you lay still on a machine the punches you in hte kidney while emitting shock waves directly at the stones and it breaks them into sand size peices,which they watch thru a machine that is a live Xray.

Over all not much pain was felt and they broke them all up,and they are passing quite easy.

Just thought i share this incase anyone ever needs to go thru it.

Kidney is a bit bruised and i feel groggy.
 
You are a freakin Riot Dave. :biggrin: If thats true youll be safe<but maybe i should become a uroligist with all the high mat temps here
 
Quit being a girl and pass them like a man! I like hearing them hit the urinal when I pass them. :D
Good luck on the recovery. For those that haven't had them YET....THE MOST painful thing you will ever experience.

Had em'

I'm 31 and I've passed 5 total. they were 4 years apart. The last 3 were this year! 3 within 3 months of each other. Doc says too much sweet tea and milk did it. Last one I passed was a big as a BB. OMG the pain. but I didnt do any litho ;) It starts out in the morning when you get out of bed. when your foot hits the floor, so does the rest of your body because it feels like you just got stabbed in the kidney. Its no fun. Doc says drink tons of water or gatorade or beer! try to stay active, (walking around) and you'll piss it out faster. I felt like I didnt want to eat or drink anything, but my fiance put something as simple as a straw in my drinks and i drank water by the gallons. it was simple and it worked. Stay away from DR PEPPER! and other dark cola's. hope this info helps.
