She had to have these last ones lasered to break up, and they had to put her under. Be thankful you were able to pass yours...and without pain meds? SO impressive!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057034297208260366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-39576370258002903992010-09-17T05:49:40.734-06:002010-09-17T05:49:40.734-06:00I feel your pain!

Four days of hospitalization and crazy narcotics, and I only felt mildly better. Then Baby decided to show up one her due date (my only one who did), but came full-face presentation, so off to surgery for a section. I felt way better after the section, so dr's assumed the stone was gone. The day before I was to go home, it hit again, and I was off to another surgery, on my anniversary, to blast the stone. I got out two days later, spent two days home, had a very painful stent removal, and then was re-hospitalized for a pretty bad kidney infection for four days. So, again, I feel your pain. It's scary and horrible, and right up there with labour pain. Hoping it never happens again for you!BJhttp://freedomfile.homeschooljournal.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-20182952233450761762010-09-15T16:32:59.764-06:002010-09-15T16:32:59.764-06:00Yikes!

She has a few home remedies I can get for you if this happens again. They have to do with chugging Coke and eating asparagus by the bundle. I am so sorry and pray that this was the last one!

I hobbled around and even walked to the post office before I finally had someone take me to the ER. Praise God, though, that was almost 13 years ago and I have not had any since! I think driking tons of water helps.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571439982499787798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-41527416694400657152010-09-15T10:27:22.954-06:002010-09-15T10:27:22.954-06:00Joanie heehee, it IS a bit amusing! :)Joanie heehee, it IS a bit amusing! :)Brianna Heldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224838737334231065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-24367518076562662452010-09-15T10:21:20.799-06:002010-09-15T10:21:20.799-06:00Ouch!
