Official Luthiers Forum!

Its great to hear that your home Buddy!
I suspect you will be a tad uncomfortable over the next few days as your body gets straightened out. But at least you can suffer in the presents of your zoot!

Get well soon!

Ouch, indeed!!! Glad you're home and recuperating.

Welcome home, Hesh. It's a good thing when they turn those stones into sand. Giving birth to a stone is no fun.

Is the stent still in place? Were the stones in the kidney or ureter? Did they tell you the size and number of stones?

I'm sure the docs have everything under control or you would not have been released.

Make sure you drink lots of water and pee freely.

Lacey...keep him away from the shop for a few days and just watch football.

How 'bout those Irish!

Glad you're back where you belong my friend...

Take care of yourself and take your time before you run to the shop... All that can wait a bit...

Hesh, glad you're ok, buddy.
I've never had this problem personally, but several close friends here have. I've seen them double over in pain, so I know this is not a laughing matter.
Hope you get better soon.

As the big brothers said Hesh, you keep away from the shop to help yourself heal, the shop and all the projects will still be there when you feel better and besides, we've missed you here so ya can post more often and try to catch me BTSW bro!

I really can feel your pain, hang in there, it's almost over, let Lacey be your caring nurse now!

Serge

Ouch is right. I've passed a couple. Hang in there, Hesh.

Glad you are on the mend Hesh.

Regarding learning what is important and what is not - drinking lots of non cafinated water to keep the kidneys well hydrated is on the important list for preventative maintainance.

I hope you are free of pain and free of future internal stone formations.

Hesh, sorry to hear things got so yucky, but I'm glad you are doing much better. I know that the stones felt like they were the size of those bricks, if not bigger. Now you'll never have to wonder what labor feels like, not that you really wanted to know in the first place.
It'll be hard, but do what the Doc says. In the long run, it will work out better.
Glad you have Lacey around to take care of you.

Lacey, I hope he's a good patient, but if he isn't, just threaten to hid all his zoot on him.

Been there done that - not fun. I actually had to learn a hard lesson because I ignored an on-going problem with stones and lost the use of one kidney as a result. Glad you are making a good (and probably painful) recovery.

Stuff like this has a way of sneaking up on us when we least expect. Just keep the vision of returning to the new work area and building your next masterpiece and you will get through all of it. Hope you have a fast and full recovery

Rich

Hesh, I hope you have a speedy recovery,
Get better,
Jim

Hesh,

Glad you're on the mend. Hope everything is "coming out" OK.

Painful and scary as such things can be, sometimes they turn out to be opportunities for inward growth when you come out them. They sure do teach you what's important.

Take good care and don't rush it too much getting to that L-00!
