NWR:Cant go on Vacation next week...Huge Kidneystone. Boo!

I know, off topic for this board but I am feeling a little pity party-ish. I have to have surgery tomorrow. I was in pain all day on Monday and Tuesday and I thought it was a back ache. Then yesterday morning the pain became unbearable. Went to Docs and It is an 10mm stone in my left kidney and depending on if it bursts with the lithotripsy I may need to have it surgically removed thru my back. That will look real sexy with my wedding dress.

Lithotripsy where they break it up with sonic waves is the better option although I do not look forward to passing hundreds of little stones and then there is the chance some of them could get stuck. Ughh. Boo. Grr! Drugs are...well...pretty good. Not taking away all the pain or even half but when my going to be sister in law called complaining about our choice to not invite kids to the reception...I really didnt care at all...HAHAH! Maybe I should stay on these....ha

I know, I know I shouldnt be thinking about the surgery thru my back and lthe way it will look with my dress but I am. Maybe it is the drugs and pain but I am bummed about the lack of vacation and now bummed/nervous about my back being cut in to.

    I'm sorry to hear that! I had kidney stones in '08 and they were so awful! Good luck with everything and I feel your pain!

    I have never had a kidney stone but that just sounds awful. I would probably be thinking the same thing about my dress if it were me so don't feel bad. Hopefully it all works out in the easiest/most painfree way for you! Smile

    I have chronic kidney stones as well, hang it there it will get better. I had 10 in one kidney (mostly small) and 5 in the other. The er doc the first time just said  "wow that is a lot of kidney stones". Lovely. The ultrasound usually works, so hang in there. It does leave bruising but not too terribly bad. Sorry about vacation.

    I had 2 removed last year. one was 12mm and the other was 8mm.  Can they not go through your urethra?  That's how they did mine and I was 100 % better the next day and its not painful.

    Oh my! Hopefully you will feel so much better afterwards and your recovery time will be swift. Let us know how you're feeling.
