Ouch....

After a restless, pain filled night, I went to the ER today only to find out I have kidney stones. I've always heard they were painful, and guess what? I heard right! I've not passed them yet (I really look forward to that-yeah) but at least I'm out of pain for now. I was worried that maybe something to do with my surgery might have caused them, but the only link the doctor said might be a problem was the amount of calcium in the Tums I was told to take. He said for now I need to cut back on them. I have to see a urologist on Thursday, sooooo wish me luck. Sheila

Bless you!! My friend has had that same problem. She has been MUCH better since drinking lots of water and having no caffiene. Not sure if you can get all your water in yet but that will help. May God bless you and heal you!! Blessings Tonya

Good afternoon Sheila, happy Monday! Sorry to hear about your kidney stones. A number have my relatives have had them and I know from their experiences they are a "bear"! You are still in my prayers. Hope all is going well with your surgery. I can't complain. I finally got the gastric tube out and after a couple weeks it's hole is finally sealed off and healing. A great relief. Weight loss is progressing, am down 64 pound as of last Friday, just 100 to go! Good luck, Dick Coomes
