Happy Monday everyone!! Have any of you ever had a kidney stone before? I’ve luckily never experienced the pleasure and I hope to avoid that shit until the day I die. I hear it is one of the most painful things a person can go through. Any mother I have ever talked to say it’s easily worse than giving child birth while grown men have admitted to crying their eyes out at the pain. It’s such a tiny little booger yet causes excruciating pain. Now take the size of a regular stone and multiply it by about 100 and that’s the size we’re dealing with today. This procedure is taking place on a poor little doggy who has humongous stones trapped inside his bladder. There is literally no passing these things so vets cut in to remove 3 huge stones. I was amazed at how smooth they were and wondered if that had to do with the minerals they’re made of or if it’s like a rock in a river that’s smoothed down over time only instead of water it’s pee. I’m sure he’s feeling better now and hopefully he can get on something to help avoid any future stones.
Thank you to my hoebag @yournextexgirl for this
Dude I have. I was 21 or 22 and woke up in severe pain so I crawled to the bathroom. The only phone that I had was really my roommates and it was with him at work, so I sat on the floor for 3 or so hrs until he came home from lunch wishing someone would kill me….it was really, truly that bad. Went to the ER, throwing up foam met morphine for the first time ?. I was blown away at how small they were that they could cause that much agony.
@trainwreck
Jesus that sounds awful, I’m terrified to get one.
Btw…where have you been young lady?
@littlefoot There’s really no excuse I’ve had the attention span of a fucking gnat lately. I never realize how much time passes in between my absences. Hey at least I come back ?
@trainwreck
You’re like a loyal dog, you may wander off sometimes but you’ll always come back ???
????? damn right!
Hello @trainwreck
We were all wondering about you, glad you’re alive and hope you’re doing well.
Oh no! I’m sorry ?. Yeah I’m ok really. I suck I’m sorry I shouldn’t take such long leave of absences. TBH I haven’t felt that great at times but still I shouldn’t leave like I do.
@re-pete
@trainwreck…you BETTER come back ?
I thought I responded to you but apparently it either didn’t go through or it posted somewhere else?????
But I always come back, I always have. I’ve got 3+ years of doing this ?. I’m working on that Kristy @mammason01
Some set of stones this pooch has……Poor pooch, get well soon!!!!!
@camilo I didn’t realize this was in a dog. Gallstones are caused by too much cholesterol in the gallbladder. So this dog has been given a lot of people food tsk tsk
Dude, these are bladder stones, not gallstones. Poor doggo though, I wonder what caused these giant stones in its bladder? It’s gonna be feeling sooo relieved though!
???? Christ I need to read shit better
I swear I run by shit so fast I get lost in my own trail dust
This is what I just read on them sorry Allie I get side tracked very easily. Bladder stones happen minerals in concentrated urine crystallize. This often happens when you can’t completely empty your bladder.
Tomato, Tomatoe@trainwreck
Atleast your not making fun of my childhood hero like someone i know @alliegracelol
@camilo
I’m lost but that’s really nothing new….who’s your childhood hero? Was it a dog ???
Alex P. Keaton
Those are rocks!
I yelled at people in the hospital during my first kidney stone. Till they gave me a shot of morphine. They sent me home with percs and a coffee filter. With the help of the pills, bong hits and chugging coke, I was able to pee the tiny flake of a thing into the coffee filter. I could go for one about now.
Being that this poor little pooch couldn’t tell anyone about the pain that he was experiencing, it could’ve been days or weeks of nothing but agony until someone finally noticed.
My uncle had this happen to him twice, but all he drinks is vitamin D milk, so it’s no wonder…
@re-pete Yeah gall stones are cholesterol buildup and kidney stones are minerals and salt. That’s why I drink a ton of water now because that’s the reason I had gotten them in the first place. Yuck and painful
I’m getting gall bladder and bladder confused in writing. My kid keeps asking me a thousand and one questions which is fine you know how much I love the dude but I can’t multi tasking very well
@trainwreck.
Its alright dear, we love you just the way you are ?
Shit that’s it…I’m cutting salt outta diet!
Yea I don’t get,nor do I want to. Something so tiny cause so much grief. But everyone and some of you say it’s the worst pain discomfort there is. Closest thing I had to excruciating shoot myself in head pain was dying nerve in tooth/root canal. It’s unbearable. Something I never want to feel again…not even for $10,000 dollars.
@nocuntryforoldpervertedman
That too was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life.
I was dying in the waiting room with the worst non stop achy pain and they refused to numb me, 15 minutes later I got up and said “fuck you guys” got in my car and was going straight to another dental office.
They didn’t do anything until they saw me driving away, so 2 minutes later they called me and said they’ll take me immediately, but only because they knew I wasn’t bluffing. I’ll never forget that pain.
Maybe the severe ear ache I had when I was 8 was just as bad, that shit literally sent me straight to the floor.
Hopefully I paid my dues in the pain department and won’t ever get kidney stones!
Well, well, well, look who decided to drop in ?…..
Hi Ellen ? @trainwreck
I’m sorry Cory…I really am
@trainwreck
Don’t worry, he’ll be perfectly fine once he gets his bow and arrow package in the mail ?
Who sent him a bow and arrow set?
@trainwreck
Well, he’s ki… used his tomahawk and spear a lot during his life, and I felt he could use a new….. hunting toy ?
Ha! I can see it now Cory throwing his tomahawk, making the Indian sounds with his mouth and hand, skipping around a camp fire ????
@trainwreck
I’d better not comment on that, Littlefoot just told me that @gorycory got his package today and is dying to use it. ?
He’s legit mad at me I think
I’ve never had them or any stones for that matter. My Aunt has had Gallbladder Stones though, My family not including me has a history of getting high cholesterol.
I’ve had two. One in each kidney, yay ?
ER visit both times. THE WORST PAIN EVER! Luckily it didn’t hurt pissing out, but the trip from the kidney to the bladder, holy shit ?
Morphine worked the first time. The second time it barely took the edge off so they gave me a shot of dilaudid…. that was the shit, but for a second, i thought my head was gonna explode ???
Fortunately the second stone turned into “sand”. so i never even saw it. Anywho, yeah, they suck. Thanks for the painful memories @littlefoot and @yournextexgirl ?
@gorycory
You’re very welcome, we aim to please ?
And you need to drink more water ?
P.s…. I’ve also had gall stones…. lucky me. Yep, another ER visit….i guess I’m just a pussy ???
But I’ll never get THOSE again…. They took out my gall bladder ?
@gorycory. My cousin had his removed too. He was at work and was feeling really sick, he thought he was dying right there, so his co-worker took him straight to the hospital and yep, it was his gallbladder.
Did you get that same feeling like you had something really with you?
Well i had some previous discomfort for months but it would go away. Then early one Saturday morning i had some serious stabbing burning pain! I was having what they called a gall bladder attack. It was trying to secrete bile but the stones were obstructing the bile duct causing the bladder to spasm and get inflamed. It was awful but not as bad as the kidney stones. THAT pain actually made me vomit from how painful it was. Both pains are unrelenting. Zero relief. Thank God for drugs ?
@re-pete
@gorycory
Just eat healthy and stay away from the fries! Your welcome Littlefoot! ?
@re-pete
Great advice! Just leave the fries to me @gorycory
?
Never had any stones in me luckily… or at least yet. My grandfather had them though. But those rocks are huge… 😐
