I had to get lithotripsy to get rid of mine. It was in the kidney. Funny thing is, they saying I'd be in a lot of pain and bruised for a week or two, but when I walked out of the hospital, it was like nothing happened.
Thanks, I have been drinking lemon juice in water which I read helps break up the stone but I think I will need the lithotripsy too because I think it is blocking my ureter. I never had a stone until I was 68, now I've had two in less than 3 years!. I need to figure out what is causing them because this is the worst.
While science says the moon affecting behavior is a myth, I challenge you to find a teacher that doesn't have ample amounts of anecdotal evidence every single year of kids behavior changing based on the full moon cycle.
The only differences between a full moon and any other moon is sunlight, and a negligible change of the angle in the sky. If people want to claim the angle means there's a stronger gravitational pull when the moon is more directly overhead, and that causes some kind of effect on the brain, that effect would be much stronger when the sun is overhead.
I would agree with you, but my wife is a teacher. I've been in the classrooms. I've seen the difference in behavior. It's weird. Whether the teacher pays attention to the actual phases or not, just by the students behavior, a teach can usually tell if it's a full moon or not. But it makes sense from a hunter-gatherer perspective given that the full moon offers more light at night and promotes more nocturnal predatory activity. It might actually cause altered behavior because of it due to a subconscious agitation. So not so much a gravitational effect as a biological effect.
Your wife teaches at night?
Hahah, no, but student behavior during the day does change around a full moon. I've seen it. Hell, I saw it in my own kids when they were young. I don't expect anyone to believe me though.
I am going for the lithotripsy tomorrow. My kidney values are deteriorating so they have to get the stone out asap. Did you get a stent? I am told I need to have that for a week then back in for another cystoscopy to remove it. I have had about a dozen cystoscopies before this for other reasons so that's no big deal anymore, but I am told the stent could be uncomfortable while it is in.
No. Maybe because it's in the ureter and mine was in the kidney.
Slanted(more like flat) roofs pose a problem as well……
Out of all of the possible excuses that she could have used Sloped Roofs had to have been the worst, it’s just 100% laughable!Slanted(more like flat) roofs pose a problem as well……
You dodged a bullet. I have one now and it is not the most pleasant experience. I am losing so much blood my hemoglobin dropped to 12.7. And on top of that, they couldn't find the stone that started this entire process.
Oh crap, that sucks! Could you have passed it?
Idk. I suspect in time I will be posting something else I learned today! I could not have passed it before surgery because I was screening every time. Maybe during or after? I am getting more X-Rays and a CT scan next week. Its going to be like Where's Waldo for a while I think.
Wow, that seems like a lot, for a kidney stone. I really hope this gets sorted out STAT.(I so rarely get to use medical jargon
)
