Update on My Kidney Stones

Well, I still have em!! I went to the Urologist in Mt. Pleasant today, MUSC has a urology clinic there, and told me to wait another week!! If by Monday these little suckers have not passed, we will talk about surgery. He said that they were small, I knew that, 3mm and one smaller, and that they were low enough that most patients would pass them within a few days...uh, I am way past that point. I knew on Friday night that the medicine they gave me, the Flomax, used for guys with prostate problems so the ureters will relax and the pee will flow, they use it on kidney stone patients so the ureters will relax, and the stones will flow out. Well, we can't dissolve capsules, and after speaking with the pharmacist, they cannot be opened or sprinkled on anything. So, the medicine was useless. Well, I am praying for these stones to come out now!!! Please pray they will come out so I don't have to be put to sleep, then they go up and zap them with a laser or they will just grab them if they are there. So, please keep drinking!! Oh, he said that the vitamins and calcium would not cause these stones, they are usually from oxolates, or chocolate, wine, grapes, dark green leafy veggies, and tea will cause stones. I am only guilty of the grapes, and salads and sometimes tea, but not much. Take care guys, and I will update you as I go. I am still on dilaudid and phenergan for pain and nausea. I get really nauseated even after one bite, so I am trying to eat things like grilled chicken and turkey and saltines. That's about it. I did have some SF pudding and it was okay. Popsicles are good too. Love to you all, and many, many blessings!!! Praise Jesus when I am in the valley and praise Him when I am feeling good, Praise Him on the mountain top and Praise Him no matter what!!! LOVE YOU JESUS!!! I thank you for your blessings!! and these wonderful people and their prayers!! I ask you bless them right back father! In Jesus' name Deborah

Deborah, I am so sorry to hear that your Kidney stones are still there. We are going to believe that your kidney stones are going to be broken up and that you will pass them. We are going to pray that you will not have to have that laser procedure. But, if you do that God will help you be at peace. I will continue to lift you up in prayer. God is in control and by Jesus' stripes you are healed. Thank you Lord! God bless you always, Tamara
