Reappearing Kidney Stone?


Well, here we go again. Matt woke up at 12:30 on Monday night in alot of pain. We had to call the Fire Department to get him to Emergency at Mary Bridge. Matt had a ultra sound done with no results, then finally a CT scan to show that the Kidney stone that we thought came out didn't. It was still sitting there at the top of his Kidney. (DARN) We were admitted by 5:30 a.m. and spent the next 2 days trying to flush it out of his system. After realising that everything they were doing there Mom can do at home we talked the doctor into releasing us. We are home now and it's just a waiting game on when the stone want's to come out. As you can tell Matt got a new pair of sunglasses that he loves and Mom has been doing yard work at the house to keep her on a even keel. More to come, Matt is doing alot better, we are rounding the bend to recovery. Lynn and Matt. :)

Dear Matt,
PLEASE don't let that stone go!! How big?Some smaller ones can pass,but;anything over 5mm is very iffy. I know because i suffer with these for over 29 years, This is the first one i couldn't pass.it's4x6mm and is stuck n the uether. I am having surgery Tue, to break it up and remove it. These are painless and quick procedures now, and believe me NOTHING like the pain of a stone. TO much can go wrong if you let it go. keep an eye on it and good luck!! my thouhts are with you. your fellow stone comrade,
Bonnie
