OT: I'm a dad again...

[Alvabass]

...but it's not what you're thinking:

I suffer from kidney stones since I was 20 and this one started bugging me like one month ago. It made me spend some sleepless nights with a bag of hot water because I can't find someone here who gives me a shot of ketoprophene at 1:00 A.M.

Anyway, on February 20th 2006, at 4:57 A.M. Colombian time, this /&%$·"%/&/()=?* has seen the light. I have all of my offsprings with their date of birth (the youngest one was born on June 11/04). BTW, I'm not a doctor, but 19 years of experience with this problem give me enough authority to tell you about the symptoms and how the transit goes. And no, the delivery isn't as painful as you may think.

The painful part is when the stone leaves the kidney and it's in the urether's upper section. It really hurts. When it reaches the lower part, the pain disappears and it becomes an annoyance. Like a little sting inside and you feel like pissing more often but only a few drops (like when you have an infection -cystitis or something like that). Then it reaches the bladder and...plonk! to the bottom of the toilet bowl. Trust me: That doesn't hurt. Instead you feel like "It's coming! It's coming!" and then a mix of happiness and relief follows.

Ah, but how did the stone end up in your hand, then

Just picked it up from the bottom of the toilet. Sounds disgusting, but the only way to avoid that is to use a colander every time you go to the bathroom.

 

[Alvabass]

Just noticed.

This thread is making me squirm! I hope I never have to pass one of those puppies, but I probably will.

Afortunadamente, Jack. Aspiro a pasar al menos dos años en paz antes de que vuelvan a molestarme.

Problem is: The best way to avoid this is drinking lots of water (or beer) and reducing milk-based foods' consumption... AND I DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.

Sounds like you're heading down the right track.

Really though. That's gotta suck.

Steve has some competition.

Although, i'd much rather NOT have a kidney stone on my basses.
