Tonia - A friend of mine suffers from Kidney stones. One was too large to pass and the Doctors used a laser to break it up. At least, I think that is what he was telling me.

sounds awful, my dad has a history of them and he's told me more than once that they're pretty awful.

Isn't wonderful when our childern do so well it something. You just want to tell the world.. I know that feeling. Sorry to hear about Dh mother, will think of your family in my quite time..

Thank you JoAnn, you are very sweet. We are very happy for our son. I hate to use the word proud. Pride gets in the way of things to much, so that's why I don't use that word much.

As for my MIL, Janice you said something about laser. I did find out that's what they plan on doing once the infection is gone. She was running a fever last night, that was after she got home. Bless her heart, I really feel for her. I've also heard that it's very painful too Tarrian. I sure hope that the infection is gone soon, maybe that will help her feel alittle better.

Thanks everyone for your in put, it's so nice to be able to talk about things. I'm really bad about holding things in. I need to vent more often to get things off my chest. I love all my new friends here. You are so very supportive about things.

Two weeks is not too long. I had stones while I was pregnant with my daughter and they put a stent in but waited until I delivered her to break them up. So that was from December to February that I just had to wait. About two weeks after she was born I went in for lithotripsy and it was a piece of cake.

I have never had them and don't really want to think about it because it scares the crud out of me.

"I have never had them and don't really want to think about it because it scares the crud out of me."

LOL, yes the pain for me when I passed a stone was worse than childbirth. And I had all three of my kids naturally with no pain meds or epidurals.

Atta, I have heard that about kidney stones. I also had my kids naturally, no meds at all. I would do it the same way again. It was better on them not to have the meds.
