OT purr request & checking in
Hi,
Sorry I've been AWOL. I've had a lot of family drama lately, life and death stuff, and have been pretty much emotionally wiped out. I've lurked some, but have been busy trying to keep up with real life and not posting. On the good news side, we have started building our new house and we should be in before the end of the year. Rosie & Cinder are doing fine and will love the new place. My purr request is for Jim. He's had some abdominal pain that has gotten worse. The doctor sent him for an ultrasound this morning. The results say he has a bladder stone. Because of his blood thinner medication, he is limited on what pain medication he can take. Could he please have some purrs that it will pass soon and without complications? And, of course, we continue to send purrs and prayers to everyone in this group, expecially our Florida members today with Tropical Storm Fay passing over. When things are settled, I'll post more often. Annie |

I know with his blood thinners this may be counter-indicated because there *is* some bruising still (not nearly as bad as it used to be in the old days where they immersed you in a tub of water). But if he is in a lot of pain he might want to consider it. Lots and lots of purrs heading your way. Chin Skritches, CatNipped |

Annie ----------------------------------------------------------------------- No, that's from the patient's point of view (mine). I've had both - two of them back in the 80's when they knocked you out and put you in a tub of water and shot sound waves somewhere in the vicinity of your kidneys. I ended up with bruises the size of softballs on my back and it *hurt*. But the last one I had they put my on an x-ray table that had a little "dip" in the middle that held water. The sound wave machine was about the size of an x-ray machine and it was targeted so precisely (both width and *depth*) that I couldn't even see a bruise on the outside. It's primarily any bruising on the inside (if any - I don't know because I didn't feel any pain) that I was concerned about for Jim. The new type of lithotripsies really are painless. I was in and out in about 2 hours and went back to work the next day! Chin Skritches, CatNipped |

I guess it either passes or the patient gets a cystolitholoapaxy. I'm gratefull that it is something simple when it could have been something much worse. Thanks, Annie |

Not pushing, or anything, but I know how painful stones can be and *anything* that could help get rid of the pain is worth looking into. Chin Skritches, CatNipped |

There is really no way to explain to a doctor how painful those stones are. And they aren't all the same. Some are merely excruciating while other are far worse than that. I'd think the would be anxious to get them broken up and gone before they can cause bleeding what with the blood thinners. Lots of purrs on the way. I know they say 'this too shall pass' but the process can be terrible. Jo |
