O.K. New Drama.....LOL.....can't catch a break ! Yesterday before going to eye's appointment , I started having some pains in my belly ! So we get around and head up to the city. As the morning progresses the pain intensifies....sighSo we call my doc and get an appt. for 3:30(which I figured would work on our way home. As her appointment lingers on , the pain keeps getting worse! So when her appt. was over (which was a very good update)we walked down to the emergency room and actually got right in !They did blood and urine , then CT scan and I have a 12mm kidney stone ! They tell me the average human can NOT pass a stone bigger than 5-6 mm ! Eeek So now I have surgery friday morning. Said something about breaking it up with a laser ??? Geez.....this is getting ridiculous ! So hopefully this will all be done on friday and I won't be in all this pain.Can't keep anything down past the anti-nausea meds time limit !I'm starving and the hurt is constant ! I'm gonna curl up in a knot and try to sleep.Even the pain pills make me puke ! Y'All have an awesome day ! LOL

I've had kidney stones. Labor pains didn't hurt as much as they did. You have my sympathy. Glad Eyes is doing better. I know it seems contrary, but stay hydrated! Hope all goes well with you Friday.

We like to complain about the weather a lot here and this is one of those posts. We have had nothing but rain and thunderstorms for almost a week now, which has caused some flooding and disgustingly humid conditions. We get a break this weekend only for it to return next week and through almost mid-August! I'm so sick of this wet and cloudy weather and unpredictable thunderstorms! I normally don't wish for the year to rush along but I can't wait for my trip to Cali in September!

You can send some rain our way ! Everything is dry here ! I've never had anything hurt this bad. Right now I'm O.K. , but every now and then is rips right through me ! I try not to move much and it hurts to breathe so I'v considered stopping that ! LOL I got some coffee down this morning and kept supper down. That seemed to help. Was up every hour and a half during the night but did get a little nap or 3 in. Ugh Anybody notice this site is slow as heck ?

[OLChemist]

Send some rain here. We're about 20" down this year alone. My grass is yellow and brittle.

[Broken Arrow]

TB, please send some rain over here.

Wardancer I'll pray for you and Eyes.

Had kidney stones three times. I feel with you.

shock wave lithotripsy
I had the special joy of receiving treatment one and two four five times.

Get better soon.

I hope everybody gets the rain they want. We've been having lots of hit and miss storms. We can hear the thunder, but only get a few drops of rain. I just hope places are getting enough to keep fires at bay.

Thank-you ! To everyone not just her. You all make my days a bit brighter ! Everything went well. They actually did a surgery and it took longer than expected because it was so big , and it had moved to an area where they couldn't see it on the ex-ray. they got it broke up with a laser and used some kinds basket to remove all the pieces !Put in some stints which will have to come out in a couple weeks. I hurt , my balance is off , and my brain's not working ! Thanks again.....laterzzzz

[Broken Arrow]

Be prepared that the pieces coming out the natural way may still hurt if they are blasted to sand.

LOL, not a niece thing. I hope you recover fast.

That surgery may hurt feelings.

It's not usually my intention to hurt feelings ! Only if they are a complete azz , then I don't mind so much.
I can have coffee this morning. Dr said 3 days I can't do chit , so here I am ! LOL Going to enjoy coffee with my beautiful wife and watch the news. Then she has to do ALL the chores and I really feel bad about it , but it is what it is !

[Broken Arrow]

In about three hours we have coffee time. You are both invited.

We may have some sort of cake which is called "Amerikaner" though I might get "Berliner" if you like those more. I suggest not to take the "Hamburger".

Kidney stones is a very uncomfortable thing to have. Did you have a nice Doctor? Mine told me with a dirty grin that I may turn in regulary. I hope not.

Get better, both of you.

[wardancer]

Doc was good , specialist , very straightforward and explained it all honestly ! They sent the stone off to be tested , not sure if it was a calcium stone or uric acid stone. It moved to a spot over my hip bone and he couldn't see it on the ex-ray so he couldn't do that procedure you showed me. Thanks for that by the way. All is well ! I figured I can't do anything else , I may as well terrorize the boards ! LOL

[OLChemist]

If the Amerikaner's have Grand Mariner and a really good dark chocolate in the glaze, I'll take two. I'm too American, I like my Berliner's raspberry filling and powdered sugar, rather than the more tradition plum filling and cinnamon sugar coating. Now if you've got some Franzbrötchen, I'm in.

For those who didn't have a bunch of Amish and German relatives who made the best Christmas and Easter goodies: Amerikaner are soft vanilla cookies that are turned over and the "bottom" glazed half and half with chocolate and vanilla glaze. Berliner's are miniature jelly doughnuts. Hamburger is a chocolate coated marshmallow squashed between the halves of a bread roll. Franzbrötchen is a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll.

Do you guys make poppy seed rolls? I know they make a version in Austria. I only know the Polish name, makowiec. Dr Rachkowski was our neighbor back when I was in high school. She taught me how to make makowiec for good luck at Christmas.

[wardancer]

well , I'm glad the weather radar lied ! It showed all the rain going south of us , so we thought we were outa luck. I guess it made a turn cause we got a good soaking rain and at times it rained hard. We needed it badly so we're thankful for that !

Franzbrötchen are rare at least where I live. But I should get some for you.

Makowiec I know as "Mohnkuchenrolle".

[wardancer]

Good Morning , Coffee please and a double shot of painkillers ! Where the stints are is very uncomfortable , which in turn leads to moving hunched over , which in turn leads to sore back , hips , legs , etc , etc......The other stuffs are much better ! I'll be staying seated or prone today !
More rain came in about 5 and just poured ! Awesome ! Still lightly raining and Mom doing chores , not so awesome. At least there are no animal problems right now ! LOL

[OLChemist]

Feel better. Take it easy and don't over do it.

What's been up with all the hit and run posters lately? Throw something weird up on the board and never re-appear.
