It just never stops.......

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Finally getting caught up on my projects (not car ones!). Actually had NIKKI out for a blast over the weekend. Now I'm waiting... to pass a freaking kigney stone that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spent 8 hours in the E.R. to find I have a 4mm gem that was between the kidney and the bladder. They got me wizzin' in a funnel with a screen in it. They got me on pain meds and tamsulosin (flomax). Its race for the chase this weekend in Joliet... had my tickets before Carlisle... I'M GOIN! Did I mention my 100 year old aunt passed last night? Or my uncle 2 weeks ago. It just never stops..........

You are certainly in a rough stretch my friend.  Hopefully you will pass your little "jewel" and things will get better for you....

Hurts just thinking about it, Bigs.

Tough go for sure
 It will stop though but then we have to bury you ... at least you are still alive !!

Sorry to hear about your Aunt and Uncle.

[DAYTONA]

been there, done that. it happened to me a couple times before.
you'll know when it's gonna come out too. the pain will be like
a light switch. when the stone dislodges the pain will immediately
it'll be gone, and then everything will come out. good luck !

Brad/ Neil you guys gave me a laugh this moring thanks!  Thanks to everyone else for the kind words.  Looks like a few of you have been there. NO new developments as of yet. I go see the doc at 9AM.  Then I'm hittin' the road and heading towards Joliet. We may spend the afternoon in St Charles ( MECUM AUCTION). Looks like a rainy weekend according too the weather channel. (It just never stops...) Maybe we'll have to go back and forth betwwen the two - Joliet - St Charles    Anyway if you hear a loud scream and then a dull thud this weekend its only me.

Bigs, I've had three. The other guys are right. Once it's passed it won't hurt anymore. Just make sure you drink tons of fluids. That's what helps it move. My first stone took two weeks to go from kidney to bladder. The other two I drank as much water as I could and they passed in a few days each.

One word of advice....when you go to pee it out, you'll feel it hit the entrance to the pee tube (not sure of the medical term lol). Whatever you do, don't stop peeing! If it's jagged like mine was, you can imagine what it would do to the inside your you know what.....

 Sorry to hear of your trying times Bigs. Adversity is sometimes beneficial though as a testament of Will.  Builds character, patience and wisdom. 
 Great support here and I'm sure with your family so stay tough and as they say "All things must pass".
