Kidney stones suck.
Last night I birthed a little sandbox and the pain is still here intermittently so I am hitting the bottle (of pain meds) and pushing fluids. Here comes a whole mess of unpleasant. You would think they could be pretty or shiny or worth something after all this crap. But no. It’s something you see in the bottom of the toilet and after a dozen or so encounters (such as I’ve had) flush.
Too bad my sleep apnea didn’t cause those puppies. Or maybe it did, but I still have my not-so-zen rock garden holding court in both (BOTH?!?!) kidneys. It’s called bi-lateral renal calculi. Sounds like math, doesn’t it? I hate math.
When the Kidney Stone Fairy first gifted me I was in college and I honestly had the thought “So this is what it’s like to die alone.” Since then I’ve threatened security guards (in hopes that they would listen to my cries of “Shoot me in the head!”), and whimpered my way through many an ER. I’m no hero. I’m a super wuss. The past few weeks I have had left-sided kidney pain so I know this guy’s been celebrating his way down my ureter, but I also knew (with dread) that the place these guys tend to stop their journey is right before my bladder where there is scar tissue from all the ones who have passed (on their own or Dr. assisted) before. It’s like every stone that came by tagged my sphincter (heheh I got to write sphincter and I wasn’t talking about my back door!). I imagine a couple cave man drawings, some prophesies, and a backwards swastika. Must be a great place to hang and chill for a while, since EVERYONE DOES IT.
Okay my drugs have kicked in.
We’re gunna rock rock rock rock it inside out….make you scream and shout…yup, that song was all about kidney stones. I know it.

Suresh,
Thank you for your overly kind offer of a new kidney. I’m nowhere near needing something that drastic. I’m sorry about your financial troubles. I wish you the best. Hopefully you find a way to address them without selling your body parts.
Best,
Shelby
you can avoid kidney stones by drinking lots of liquid.*-*
Kidney Stone is a deadly disease specially if it has not been checked regularly.’,,
kidney stones maybe difficult to remove specially if they are already big and hardened”..
kidney stone is caused by calcium or oxalate deposits that have built up over the years.’`
i am staying away from high sodium diets cause it can cause kidney stones and other bad effects -“.
