Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Nicole,
My dad has the same issue with the urinary tract infections. He is paralyzed on his right side, and because he couldn't feel the pain... the infection was so severe that he became septic.

Something tells me they are NOT going to give you the stone for the matel.

Although you could have the kids dig a HUGE rock up out of the backyard and tell him that was iti!

I hope they keep the big one for us to see, I want to see the thing that has caused all this trouble. Besides, everyone keeps making such a huge deal of the size I want to see it. They say its like a record breaker(for this doctor anyway) Maybe I should make room for it on the mantel? Sorry, gotta joke. Things have been way too serious.

Yes indeed, you should make room for it on the mantel. Two inches on the large size, indeed! Kidney stones can range anywhere from the size of a grain of sand to the size of a golf ball and be caused by many different things. In looking on the good old "WWW", there are actually 4 different types of kidney stones. If you have nothing better to do while waiting (of course, what could be better than hanging out on the disboard?) go to these websites:

Hang in there, kid!!

I must have missed the excitement again! I was here briefly last night but I don't recall a troll...I did receive a little harassment from Gatordad but he's still here

 

[Gatordad]

Okay Pete... now I know what you mean!!

No worries.... Roz is watching!

I had the same feeling as Colson..... not the comfort station kinda loop.

Maybe we can play marbles with them at the fort. Or throw them at the trolls. Skip them across meadows pool. Try to knock the peacocks out of the trees. Just a few options.

Nicole, it's good to hear from you. I'm glad Jim is doing better. A friend's brother is having a kidney transplant in a couple of weeks so I've heard a lot about kidneys lately - plus I have 2 stones right now that aren't bothering me much so they won't blast them out. They're the size of a grain of sand and can cause a terrible amount of pain -- 2 inches is un-freakin-believable!

Tell Jim we're all praying for a quick recovery.

FWG should chime in about the VA since he works at one now. I know in Buffalo, they are good for some things not so much for others. I don't use them since I'm on Tricare and have my own medical insurance to boot.

Good luck. OH BTW, the bank I work for uses Verizon because of the coverage.

Ok, I have had it, I am going to get a wireless card for my laptop. My choices are Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. What do you all suggest?

I don't know because I don't have one but I think AT&T will evenually rule the world.

 

[2goofycampers]

Nicole glad to hear DH is getting good care. On the air cards we had the AT&T it was awful, we now have Verizon and love it.

 

[g8trmom1]

Nicole, glad to hear they are taking good care of DH and he will be on the road to recovery in no time. My friend had a gall stone the size of a walnut and they let her take it home, she showed it to me.

Hey all!

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and wishes. Just giving you a little update. Jim is in his first surgery right now.

After a CT they found that he has a stone in his right kidney that is(hold onto your seats boys) 2 inches big!!!! He has 3 in his left kidney. His left kidney is no longer functioning, they are going to see if the stent helps, but it is doubtful. His right should be fine. So that is where we sit right now. They say if everything goes well with the stents he might be able to go home Wed. and be home until he is ready for the next surgery. Keep your fingers crossed. I am using the computers in the hospital so I will try to update as much as I can.

.

Thanks for the update Nicole, we've been thinking about you. 2 inches ?!?! Hang in there and know that we are around when you need to talk...or get your mind off of things

Ok, I have had it, I am going to get a wireless card for my laptop. My choices are Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. What do you all suggest? I know many of you have one. I can't stand not seeing any pictures. I need Disney pictures!!!!!! Oh, by the way, Jim is still in surgery-I'm not neglecting him.

We've had pretty good coverage with Verizon. The only place I've had such a slow connection it was a problem was Hill City, SD at the Rafter J campground. I was even able to get coverage up in Alaska for most of our trip !!
