55 gallon drum of morphine

[piemma]

Raven;
hang in. It will get better. I speak from experience. Shot 3 different times in Nam in 66/67. Broken back in 77.
Open heart Quad bypass in 2003 and now this Bladder cancer with Chemo to boot.

"If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger"

[Raven]

a different prescription like tramadol
if not for S-B members....

i hope to be fishin by the weekend....
->thats my goal...

wow Paul....3 times shot....
you ought to know....

i like getting stronger....

[gone fishin]

Now with all the narcs you will not be able to take a healthy dump for a week, grab some stool softeners. I feel for ya been there done that

Raven, been there my friend. Work through the pain. Drink lots of water - if you can walk around try to rather than stay cooped up in the house.

Save the stone when it passes so the doc can figure out what it is. More likely than not it will be calcium oxalate. Adjustments to your diet can prevent future recurrences (unfortunately if you get one youre likely to get more down the road).

[Raven]

this is actually my second stone.....experience....
the first one was in the springtime....
and you spend the whole night taking a hot showers...
and i had no clue what the intense pain was from...
thinking it was perhaps just plumbing problems...

and yeah thats what the narcotics you take do to ya...
they lock up the back door... bigtime
so for breakfast i had just some mirabela papaya....
i have to eat all easy to digest stuff..
that won't produce any gas...

sent the wife to the pharmacy last night
for a better back door key (docusate sodium)

and that makes a world of difference....

i almost went back to the hospital again last night because i was
back into the intense agony again ....pacing ,groaning, moaning
and there is absolutely no escape......

you "feel like your gonna die"...and you almost want to
....to end the torment and misery.....
it's that bad....
everyone saying: "for a man it's like having a baby"...
and the meds just- wouldn't- kick -in

today i feel pretty good....but i'm real weak from the trauma
...so i'll get some much needed
fresh air ,sunshine and do some mowing out back which
is starting to get ahead of me...

this has been a life changing experience for me
to say the least......
and my diet will be forever changed....
my belly is now half the size it was...
so i figure i've been ill for almost 5 months.

Raven,

I can't forget the first time. I doubled over suddenly in pain and thought somebody had stabbed me in the back.

The pain was so bad that I ended up throwing up on the car ride to the ER.

I came in grasping my side. Nurse said, so you look like you have a kidney stone.

[Raven]

i'll be seeing my primary Doc in the morning

and she had better know her meds...or she's fired.

but now, i am fully at war with my body....and i am ripshiit.

this is my own 9-11 plane crash into my kidney's and i'll be
a kidney stone expert before i'm finished.
or at least how to radically change all my dietary habbits so
that i'll never have to experience this again...

i have never before been so devastated by an experience as this
and i am at war...with alkalinity and digestion, the whole nine yards.
