Wonderful post! I’m glad instapundit mentioned the health-care blogging round up!

Being a veteran of 4 stones, I deeply sympathize with what you have gone through. I too hope you actually passed the little bugger!

I certainly can not think of any worse pain.

Liked your prose – just returned from 3rd Litho yesterday – the stones hurt like a sob. Hopefully they were blasted small enough.Nurses are the best !!

I too have a 2mm stone that won’t pass. I figure is spikey and stuck.

Geena,
glad you are better. Yes, microscopically, these stones look like grass burrs, and aren’t fun for your ureters to contract onto. Any Toradol with either visit?

I send folks home with vicodin all the time for this, and I hope it helps, but I think asking people to swallow pain meds while in stone-kinda pain is wishful thinking.

Good topic!

Gina I hope you passed the stone and it is over for now. Kim has had several stones you need to talk to her!! She hasn’t had one for awhile but she follows a diet like no calcium, chocolate etc. How is David doing, always hard to watch someone else in pain and not being able to control anything.

Love your blog. I hope you don’t mind if I link to it? If you do, let me know right away and I’ll take it off. JOHN

Glad to hear things are going a little better at least Geena. Hope you passed that stone.

And no worries, I’ve never had morphine…so I don’t think I’d be able to handle it either.
