Sorry, I missed all the excitement - had an emergency here !

Hubby finally gave in and asked me to call his DR - he ended up in emergency room Thursday afternoon,with an imbedded kidney stone :-S
Had it reamed out and broken up with a lazer today ,plus a stent put in - and was told he has 2 more in each kidney .
He felt sick last weekend and Tuesday told his one boss he thought he had another kidney stone - last time was about 20 yrs ago !
Well, he now knows he has to call if he has ANY hint of a stone !
He could have stayed in the hospital another night ( I wish he had LOL) - but, I brought him home tonight .
:D First thing he did was grab some apples and go see the "boys" and give them a treat ! 5 geldings and 1 stallion ! So he is fine - LOL
I NEED a vacation though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! One neighbor had to have his kidney stone lazer pulverized and another had to have surgury because it was an egg-shaped quarter size! Glad your hubby is doing better.

Hope he keeps chugging along with no more problems.

Glad it worked out. Love that he thought of the horses when he got home!

[My Pasos]

My goodness I hope he is feeling better! I am glad he is back home!!

Drink Crannberry juice.

I agree with the Cranberry Jucie...highly recommended for a healthy urinary tract.

Glad you found out what the problem is and he's doing better now. Noting worse then feeling miserable.

I loved the comment our daughter made - ROFL -"Well, it is great to see Dad acting grown up about going to the DR!"
He did get the TOTAL explaination - he had started renal failure ! Dr really gave him the word and about watching it and his diet - And about calling even when he "thought" it was the kidneys - not waiting! Better to go for a false alarm than what he just went through!
He has to watch it - if he went into renal failure - he would end up on dialysis and because of the type of stones - would NOT be a candidate for a kidney transplant !
One good thing he has done - since he had umbellical hernia the begining of May - he has lost 40 lbs ! Has another 40 to go !

I'm glad to hear he's feeling better. With a warning like that, he's not likely to ignore his symptoms again.

Men tick me off. Your hubby lost FORTY pounds in THREE months? Crud. I wish I could do that! I've only managed 27.4 lbs (you'll notice that every little bit counts *grin*) in 6 months. *mumble. grumble. grouse.*
