STONES BELONG OUTSIDE THE BODY....GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT.....

I thought this the PERFECT time to share a post on ROCKS....Many of you love rocks as much as I do...These formations are on the shoreline of Mackinac Island. As I biked around the island I was amazed at how many "Rock Statues" were constructed by tourists... At this juncture my body is TRYING to PASS a KIDNEY STONE.... Yeah...I wish I was kidding!!!!



Can I say the little bugger feels like about the size of one of these ROCKS...




At this point there is not much I can do but all the advised remidies and hope it eventually drops into the bladder....Getting from the kidney to the bladder is the REAL picnic!

When it's moving...YIKES...DRUGS !!!!!...when it stops moving I can tolerate it enough to BLOG!!!! I'm up for any suggestions to motivate this little nugget to leave the building, ( so to speak)... arn't these statues great!....Have a wonderful Holiday weekend, xoxo~Kathy

  1. OMGosh, Kathy. I've never had a kidney stone but I've heard how painful they can be.
    Isn't there some sort of high vibration treatment that can shatter the little buggers? I've heard of that. Maybe your doctor can help you there.
    Hoping you pass it or have it shattered very SOON...
    Remember that, if you are feeling well enuf, I have you on my Pink Sat. post for tomorrow.
    I hope you sleep good tonight...

  3. Sure wish I could be of help, Kathy. Hope that kidney stone gets through fast, although I realize it could never be fast enough. My Dad is dealing with one right now. The stone "art" in the photos are interesting. I'll be praying for you.

  7. So sorry you're not feeling well. I've heard that is really painful! Regarding the rocks outside the body, I love these formations. Aren't they drawing energy to earth or something like that?

  9. Kathy,

    I am sorry you are going through this. There is another blogger that is waiting for her stones to start their journey and she has gotten oodles of advice. If you want, visit April at Straight From The Heart.blogspot.com. She is a sweetheart.

    Good luck. I'll be thinking of you and praying for a quick end to this...

    xoxo

  10. I know what you are feeling, had to have one removed last year - basket retrieval one week, liptotripsy second week! A lot like labor pains (labor pains 40 years ago before all the meds you get now). If it isn't too big you can try filling your kidneys with as much water as possible, then sit down hard on a kitchen chair. That is suppose to knock it on down. Don't know if it works but read it on the internet. BTW - Toradol was the only thing that stopped the pain for me. Get to your doc and get some pain pills, girl, you will need them.

  11. Thanks Blondie, I'll visit April. Right now Tramadol is my friend...takes the edge off, or makes me not care so much !!Ha! I'll try the h2o and plopping in a chair...Mostly walk, walk, walking up and down our street in the middle of the night, thanks sweeties..~Kathy~

  14. Oh Kathy!
    I so feel your pain. I have had kidney stones too. Being an insulin diabetic, we are quite prone to them. I have to be so careful with the protein that I bring into my diet. I will pray for you honey that it passes soon, and you can move forward with your life, and get back to doing the things that you love most. I had to stop over and visit, after reading BJs post. She sure didn't exagerate. Thanks for sharing with us. I have signed up to Follow your blog, I can't wait to see where you go next. Please stop by and say hi. I would love to have you visit. Country hugs, Sherry

  16. Kathy, I experienced this horrific pain 5 years ago and have never felt so bad. I had back labor with my son and this pain was equivalent to it. It took 4 days with no relief from pain meds before it passed. I hope you will have a faster "transportation" for your little bugger. Take care. Sue

  18. Oh my sympathy -- I've had them too -- felt like I was being shredded from the inside by glass shards -- the only time in my life I thought I would lose conciousness from pain -- and was wishing mightly that I would! Hope this is over for you soon.

  19. HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!
    I am so sorry you have to go thru all this pain and I hope that soon, very soon that nasty ole stone will pass!
    You are a fellow Michiganer....I am in Port Huron. I have not yet gotten to your part of the state. Do you live on Mackinac Island? The bridge to Upper Michigan has stopped me cold. 5 miles over water? Not this girl!
    Feel Better Soon!

  20. You are a woman having the same mind concerning rocks. I love to feel them. I love to see their different shapes and how they look like something else sometimes. I have passed this love onto my Grandson Alex and hope he is able to pass it on when he gets older. I think your post is wonderful!
