What's On Your Mind ?

This morning was round 3 of lithotripsy.

This kidney stone must be made from a military grade, rare metal.

I'm kinda bruised on my left flank and still a lil' off kilter from the anesthesia.

It's the same anesthesia that killed Michael Jackson. Stupid Ol' Michael Jackson.

Carry On.

I just finished with my Urologist, (went back to get annual script refills). He found blood in urine and off we went. After a CTscan and a cystoscope run, we decided to leave the three stones in each kidney alone until they 'present',,, which is code for 'Hurt like Hell'!!!

It's going to be a fun summer...

GodSpeed.

8 weeks ago I had one kidney stone on the left and two on the right.

At the time of this x-ray & thereafter, I had Not had lithotripsy.

I read every old-wives tale and clinical paper I could find. I scoured Amazon for products and read everything I could get my hands on for prevention.

The two stones on the right kidney have disappeared, and I can't remember passing them. I took a pretty aggressive approach to some OTC treatment options.

Every morning, with food, I take Potassium Citrate & Magnesium with B6. Everyday I'm drinking about 1/3 of a liter of lemon juice mixed with water.
And yes, I asked my dentist about the lemon juice and it's effect (or potential effect) on my teeth's enamel. She told me not to worry about it and just drink it through a straw; I do.

Shoot for 3 liters of water a day. It's a lot and I'm always looking for the nearest bathroom.

The other supplement that I've been taking is this. it's available on Amazon for under $20.00. Does it work? Dunno, but something tackled the two kidney stones on the right. It is:

Chanca Piedra 800MG per Tablet - 120 Tablets Kidney Stone Crusher Gallbladder Support Peruvian Chanca Piedra Made in The USA

I'm happy that this is almost behind me.

200 years ago, more than likely, the kidney becomes blocked and infected, I go septic..... and die.
I regard that as a 'below average' outcome.

We're blessed to have this kind of medicine available. Who knows what treatment options will be available in the future?
For now, I'm grateful for the options we have today.

That’s exactly what almost happened to my MIL. She recently had several stones but because of nerve damage from a previous stroke did not feel the pain associated with passing stones. She eventually got very sick and after several rounds of tests she was diagnosed as severely septic. After clearing that up they finally removed the stones. She is in rehab now.
