A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other.

my husband had some little ones that he passed. Poor thing was in Hong Kong at the time.

And MAN do they hurt. I was lucky enough that they always passed - with a bunch of morphine and and IV drip. My thoughts are with your hubby. Did I mention ouch?!

there is nothing delicate about kidney stones!

Tell hubby he's being well looked after by the bulldog lovers community.

and she also a kidney stone one time. She told me she would rather go through childbirth 4 times again than pass another kidney stone.

Sorry if this sounds crude, but I thought the worst part of passing a kidney stone for a man would be when it passes thru the penis. But that was actually pretty easy. It's when the stone passes from the kidney to the bladder that causes the pain. The doctor explained that it's like trying pass a pea thru a tube the size of a pencil lead.

(in that order, and I'll tell you what-that epidural was NICE!) but with one of the kidney stones I was absolutely paralyzed by the pain and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. Two morphine shots and no relief later I just wanted to die. The first stone was not so bad. I still have one more, I hope it hangs around forever with no big plans to move anywhere!

I had natural child birth (back in the late 70's when we were idiots) and I had kidney stones. Childbirth was way worse for me. Maybe I had an exceptionally bad labor and mild stones. LOL

OUCH!

I had lithotripsy to pulverize mine. The codeine pain meds the doc prescribed made me sicker than the stones. 3 Advil took away the pain without causing the nausea.

Hope he feels better soon.

And a quick and easy recovery!








Have a great day, and don't forget to kiss someone you love!

in the hospital a year ago for emergency gall bladder surgery. I hope you can get some sleep--you'll need it. I didn't sleep a wink in the hospital room with my hubby. Hugs to you both,
