temporarily down for the count

[richfaa]

Had a severe kidney stone attack Friday evening and we are hurting. We are on some killer pain drugs that make me even more wacko than I normally am so I am trying not to post anything on the Pancake bkfst till i can make some sense out of what I read. Am passing stones every day and that is not fun. No drugs right now as I wanted to see how much I hurt...bad move..

[WaltandLynne]

Oh my ... no fun for sure. Hope your up and feeling better soon.
Lynne and Walt

[Mrs. CountryGuy]

Feel better soon.

[remhob]

Rich, I feel for you. Those things are torture, but once they're gone you feel your wacky self.

[Waynem]

Wow Rich. You watch out for those boulders, please.

Get well soon.

[Trailer Trash 2]

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem, I wish you well, and get rid of those darn things quick.

[mainer]

Hope you feel better soon!!!!

[8.1al]

Hope this clears up soon Rich and no more experiments, OK?

[mail2us]

Best to ya Buddy. It's not fun as you know so take care.

[HOOK]

Best wishes to get well soon. Larry & Pat

[steves]

Best wishes for a quick recovery! Pass the stones!

[sfish]

I hope they pass soon so you can get back to just WACKY.

[jpkelpe]

get better soon

[CORattler]

Dang Rich! I hear passing stones are worse than childbirth (but what do I know about childbirth anyway?)
Here's hoping you get r done soon and are feeling better.

[Rondo]

Rich-- Take a hammer and bust them things up a little and they won't hurt as much! ;) Seriously, hope all will pass with care and you are back to your Wacky self again soon! Hope this doesn't slow you down for heading for Goshen! Mary says to take a couple tablespoons of olive oil every day and it may help you out! If not, you can always drink some vinegar and become a really good Italian dressing! [:p][}:)][:o)]

[bullroc3]

Oh, Rich. I feel your pain. I had 5 of those suckers. THEY ARE NOT FUN. God bless you and hope you feel better soon.

[pineranch]

OK folks, gave you a chance to poke Rich but only Rondo did. My question is about the "we" in kidney stone passing and killer drugs. Is the "we" you and the kidney, you and DW, or you and someone close to you.[8D]:D[:p].

[jackandh2o]

Rich, sending you get well wishes. That doesn't even sound like fun.

I passed 27 in a 24 hour period and thought about digging a hole an climbing into it. I couldn't get into the doctor's office until Monday to get them treated with ultrasound to break them up into smaller pieces. Thinking back on it, I don't think I would have wanted smaller, but more stones.


Get well soon and stay on the pain lesseners...

My thought exactly the last time we had a severe attack. I said I do not need more stones. Have passed several and going off the pain killer for a day tells me there are more there. The cat scan indicated a lot of stones. We will get another tomorrow to see what is still there.

Helen is watching me like a Hawk.

[exav8tr]

Rich, AS the old saying goes, This too will pass!!! At this point Drugs are your friends..... Hope they pass soon and you are back to feeling well again......

[kramperD]

Hang in there Rich! Gotta get better to root on our Browns Thursday evening.....maybe with your meds they won't look so bad?!!! D

[Rondo]

Dino-- That is down right mean! [}:)] My Mon was born and raised in Cleveland so guess who I was groomed to cheer for! ;) OK, back to the original thread! [:o)]

[Jay Bird]

Rich,
We hope you get better soon. Did they give you the strainer to catch them. They can be some elusive buggers lol. Take care and get well soon.

George and Rosetta

[Hooker]

I can appreciate your pain. As a long sufferer I know they are very painful. Hope one does not get stuck...that requires surgery...BTDT!:(

[PowellsMonty]

get better fast. Hear they can bring a cuss word or two.

[kramperD]

Okay Rondo.......maybe Rich's meds will help the Indians look better?!!! LOL!!

[CamillaMichael]

Get well...soon!

[richfaa]

Dr today.Stone is gone it was 4mm stone. Leaving for a RV rally in the AM..

[noneck]

Wahoo, good to hear you are on the mend.

[Sheepdog]

Good news Rich , have a good time, and we'll see ya at the Fall rally in a few weeks.

ps. You're not a Browns fan are you? Heard the Browns can't even get a webpage for their team; problem is they can't get three (WWW) Ws in a row!

[kramperD]

Come on Sheepdog.......everyone knows it's a rebuilding year for my team!!!! : )

[SAndreasen]

They hurt like he##! Last ones I had (last winter in AZ) the dr told me to quit the ice cream :< Get back to normal soon!

[richfaa]

Don't have to stop anything. Do have to cut back.Ice cream every one in a while will not hurt... Ice cream every day may.

[Sheepdog]

Last year my daughter was pregnant and had several bouts of kidney stones and could not take medication. The Doc told her to drink plenty of lemonade. Apparently the acid in the lemonade helps break up the stones which are a form of calcium. Didn't know if this was common knowledge for those who suffer.

[JLBOZ60]

Get better soon.

[richfaa]

There are different types of stones each made up of different stuff and each has its own set of rules in terms of how to prevent them. There is no one thing cures all for stones. When you pass a stone it should be examined to determine exactly what you have then the Dr can deal with diets , etc.

I know exactly what I should or should not eat or drink to prevent my type of stones......I just don't do it on a regular basis....and pay for it from time to time.

[Bill-N-Donna]

Rich, glad to see you’re back up and kicking!

[Jay Bird]

Good news. Eat right and stay away from those stones.

[Exnavydiver]

So don't eat Stone Soup!!!!

[richfaa]

Dave..Had one of your CAT scans the cat ran around me three time then pointed to my left kidney and dropped dead.

[Bill-N-Donna]

The front graphics on ours was peeling when we first got it. I called customer service at Keystone and told them the problem. I gave them the information they needed and they said to send them some pictures and they would replace them if they had any around. They wouldn't commit to it but in about a week or two I received them in two separate orders. I believe certain models were more affected with the peeling problem. I would at least call them.

[bigmurf]

Rich: Don't trust those CAT scans. Get you a big black dog to do it, this will be the LAB report.

[richfaa]

big murf....very good... See the post was moved. I was not sure where to put it.This topic did not seem to fit. Since I am the pancake co ordinator and updating the topic I just wantedfolks to know that I may not be updating for awhile otherwise it would have gone unreported.

[CORattler]

Rich,
I hope things are better for you. I was camping this past weekend and a kidney stone forced me into the E.R.
I passed it while there and actually have it on my desk here at home in a glass tube. One was horribly painful. I can't imagine passing more in the same time frame. They did a CAT scan on me and I have one more to go. Doc doesn't know when (or if) it will pass.
Let's stop all this foolishness and get back to camping, OK?

I feel your pain...I mean I really feel it. I have got three more to pass but they are small ones.

[itaves]

Rich, Wishing you a speedy recovery! Hope to see you again in Florida this winter. Will you be at Mouse Mountain and WDW again?

[Johnnyg]

I feel your pain and hope it's over soon.
I was diagnosed with 2 stones a couple of months ago. I passed one and the second required a surgical procedure (lithotripsy). Then to add insult to injury I got the worst case of Gout I ever had. This all came shortly after the North East Rally in Maine! My eating and drinking habits may have had something to do with it..

[steves]

John....it was the Lobster! or should I say Lobsters!
