I am glad you went on to the emergency room and know what is ailing you. Bless your heart, I pray you get well soon, and never get another kidney stone.
God is merciful

Wow I am so sorry. Is there medication they can give you to keep from getting so many kidney stones?Originally Posted by *Living~By~Faith*
I will be praying you can see the doctor sooner!
Hang in there.
God bless

Praying that the Lord grants you healing and peace.
You may want to eat some bananas and maybe drink some Powerade or Gaterade for potassium.
Also see if they can break up the stone with Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a technique that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to break up simple stones or the laser method instead of just passing it whole.
Matthew 21:22

I'm not feeling well at all today. I'm having pain all up my side.
Crosstalk thanks for the advice. I told my mom last night to pick up some bananas and gaterade when she gets off of work. I'm sure I'll be having the laser surgery again to break the stone up, because I can't seem to pass stones on my own. But I don't go to the dr. until the 3rd.

I'm having a lot of problems today, but I believe it is unrelated to the kidney stone. The pain medication I'm taking is probably causing some of the problem though. I haven't been able to eat today, but I'm trying to drink gaterade so I don't get dehydrated.
Oh and sorry that I have two active prayer threads. This one is for my health issue and the other one is about other people. I thought it was better keeping it separate, but you can merge them if you wish to.

I'm praying for you, and praying that you will be able to get an appointment sooner.
My favorite scripture: Malachi 3:16
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name!" (Every time we speak of the Lord, or even THINK of him--its written down in a book of remembrance!)

I'm a little better. I believe I'm having side effects from the pain medication. I am going to my parents until Wednesday so I won't be back online until then.
Grand Master
Pain medication can dehydrate you too so it's good that you are drinking fluids, but you should let your doctor know you're drinking Gatorade just in case.
Matthew 21:22

I'm doing a little better, but would still appreciate prayers. The bad thing is I missed a call from my Urologists office. I will call in the morning and see if they wanted to move my appointment up, but I doubt it can now because my doctor is only in the office a few days a week.
guest
Good the doctor can see me in the morning. I hope I can have this surgery on Monday. I'm just ready to put all of this behind me and start feeling like myself again.
Please pray for me. I feel like I'm falling deeper into depression and I don't know what to do about it. I need a new change in my life. I'm just tired of everything. I don't want to go to college this coming semester and I want to quit teaching Sunday School, but I won't have anything to look forward to or work towards if I give up on both of those things.

Living~By~Faith depression comes with not feeling good. Who is happy and cheerful when they are hurting and feel bad? No one of course. Please don't be making any major changes or decisions in your life right now while you aren't feeling well. I realize its going to be some long difficult days waiting to see your doctor so right now you need to just baby yourself...take it easy...rest as much as possible...watch TV...read if you can concentrate to read to pass the time until this gets taken care of.
Also did you say one time you and a friend wanted to start visiting nursing homes but at that time you were too busy with teaching and school to do this? If you discontinue one of those...school or teaching..that might be something to think about doing in replace of that. Just think about it but don't make any decisions until you are feeling better...ok?
I will be praying for you ...!
God bless

I have four stones in my bladder. I am having surgery Aug. 8th. I just pray that I don't have complications this time like I did in the past with this same surgery. I also hope I can get a prescription of valium called in to take the morning of my surgery. They forgot to give me a prescription for it at the doctor's office.
Oh and I also have a major tooth ache on top of this health issue. I have a dental appointment on Aug. 17th, but I am going to try seeing if I can get an appointment this week.
guest
Please pray that I feel well enough in the morning to run some errands that I've been putting off all week due to not feeling like doing them. They need done tomorrow since it's Friday and since my surgery is Monday. Also if you would, please pray that I can have my prescription for valium for my surgery called in instead of having to go all the way to the drs to get a written prescription. That will be irritating if I have to do that, especially in this heat and my car not having AC.

Thankfully I finally made it back home okay. But that sure was some trip just to get two pills. The service engine light came on my car about half way to the other town to get my pills. Then on the way back it started raining so hard that I had to pull over because I couldn't see the road. Then when I took off again there was water standing in the road like I had never experienced before.
I'm also thankful that I haven't had any pain today. I have been gone from my house for 10 hours, but I stopped by a friend's house for a little while and ran some errands while I was out today. I have a lot to do this evening as well. I hope I sleep well tonight with staying so busy today.
