Super User BassinLou Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 Well I can proudly say I am stone free. By the way, Mr. "Bassin is addicting" I read your post this morning. Although very detailed, you were correct on your description. I will spare all of you the details but let's just say after the procedure you are not out of the woods yet with recovery. Granted its been less than 24hrs post op, so as time passes I will recover and gradually feel more comfortable. Doc told me I had two stones that were lodged in my ureter that gave the appearance of one stone. Best advice I have received several times thus far is drink plenty of fluids. The equivalent of 8-10 glasses of water everyday. Thanks again for the all the kind words everybody. I never met any of you personally however I feel at home here at BR with all of you. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 DId you get the laser treatment or the stent? Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 29, 2012 Author Super User Posted November 29, 2012 I got the whole enchilada. I got the stent, the laser, and god knows what else. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted November 29, 2012 Super User Posted November 29, 2012 I had the stent, not a fun experience. Hope everything goes well and that horrible little stent gets removed quickly. Quote

DavePNW Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Glad to hear you made it through! That is an experience that I can live without haha Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 29, 2012 Author Super User Posted November 29, 2012 No worries "Bassin is addicting" I get where you were coming from. You are right. Unless you have had one you cannot explain it. You can count on the fact that I will do everything necessary "not" and I repeat "not" get one of those stones again. Quote

I was just giving you a hard time. I didn't really consider it as being over the top. Some things are too good to pass up. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 ok... good. i was hoping you were just giving me a hard time.... i truly was having flash-backs as i was typing when i expressed the pain.... it is baaaaaad. Quote
The Rooster Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Stay off the pop. Sugar is baaaaaad for causing stones. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 That which does not kill me will make me stronger...........or cry for morphine in my IV. Glad you are doing better. For those who have never experienced the pain of the dreaded kidney stone, it's as close as the male gender will ever get to child birth. Quote
