<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 124455, member: 878&quot;]Thanks, all of you for the notes, advice and stories that make me feel blessed. Especially now, I do thank the guy/gal upstairs often and shall when we meet face to face. </p><p>Right, my ideas of the beyond are a mish-mash of about 2,932 of the over 9,000 different religions. And, yeah, there is no hell. So I know we&#039;ll all meet someday. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have learned a lot more about kidney stones since last time. This occurrence is one of the more typical. Pain? YES. but a piece of cake compared to the previous ones. Except for a few earliest ones,&nbsp; I stayed days in the hospital wrapped in tubes until they fixed everything and sent me home. </p><p>This time as doc. explained, I&#039;ll be taking pills for nausea, pain, antibiotics, and <u>FLOMAX.</u> The latter somehow prepares everything for natural expelling of the 6mm one that normally can&#039;t get out by itself. If that doesn&#039;t work by Monday, more scans &amp; x-rays will be taken. The results of those will determine whether they blast it to pieces or, the dreadful foot long stent gets put up there (guess how <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and taken back out in a week. </p><p>Add your prayers please. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie60" alt=":link:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . Your choice. </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, but I&#039;ll take revenge if you choose the latter and win. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m the guy who, as you well know, is in his 8th decade with only one operation in his past - after a 3 month argument&nbsp; we compromised with just half of my thyroid - and since then I require a written 100 year guarantee on any other treatments . I don&#039;t wear glasses, I don&#039;t have a hearing aid, no implants, no transplants. I own all my teeth, 90% of my hair is still on. I still have everything I was born with and can stand, sit, walk, breathe and a few other things that have been with me since puberty. (<font size="2">A bit slower, of course</font>)</p><p>When I was 6 months old the doctor told my family that he very much doubted I would make it through the night. Combination of scarlet fever and pneumonia. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, nothing for me to complain about, except sometimes why everyone else isn&#039;t as fortunate as I am. </p><p><br /></p><p>So thanks again, and I&#039;ll stick around to annoy you all for a few more years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
