11/9/05

9:31 a.m. Oh, I'm feeling SOOOOOOOO much better since I layed an egg! (Okay, maybe it wasn't that big...) Just getting over the infection part now. Which is a gastro-intestinal delight considering I got the Agent Orange of antibiotics.

But enough about my bowels.

I'm so getting fired. Again. I'll update you on that later.

LHM and I are having fun. He's fixing and organizing everything around my apartment. What an exercise in futility...

I have an ME story for you but I have to get back to my "real job" for now.

More later...

So, how big was it? What'd you name it? No crap-cam pictures for us of the happy little bugger?

CONGRATS on your successful excretion!!

DonnaJo said...

YAY, Polly. Glad THAT's over for you.

Re: getting fired...um, last time you thought you were getting fired, you got promoted. What's next, VP with a corner office?

I would like to second MOTW's request for details please. size (preferably in mm), pictures if at all possible.

We joke around with my uncle that he's passed so many he should start making jewelry.

I think he's passed like 300 of various sizes.

PPI,

Good to hear you are better. One thing to remember about getting fired; You were looking for a job when you found that one.

If they lose you, then it's THIER fault, not yours.

Best Wishes,
BulletBill

Tamara,

Those are just the one's he kept. Many more have have been sent to a watery grave.

We're really not sure what causes so many. One urologist told him that he flat out didn't believe him.

He's tried all sorts of different remedies from homeopathic to prescription, but still pees gravel.

The crowning achievement (and the one he's most proud of) was an 8 mm stone that he successfully passed without surgery. That one took him almost a month.

Polly - glad to hear that LHM is helping you out around the house. How is traffic, anyway?

hehehehehehe....

I was going to text you with "Bugger Kidney Stones" - but I thought that wouldn't be helpful...

...an 8 mm stone that he successfully passed without surgery. That one took him almost a month.

*shudder*

Congrats on your bouncing baby pebble. Add me to the "want pix" pile.

DonnaJo said...

BrianB's grandpa's 8mm story made me pass out; I came to only to have Leetie repost.

Can someone toss me some smelling salts?

****

Anyone remember the Barney Miller episode when Fish had a kidney stone? He over heard someone talking about getting a rat out of the building, but thought it was his doctor talking about what to expect with his kidney stone passing. And then some hilarity ensued.

He still pees gravel???

Yikes.

Polly...soooo glad you are feeling better.

Polly,

So glad you are better, sweetie.

Hugs and tequila.

Mike Weasel said...

So.... was it a boy or girl? I'm guessing girl since you said "laying an egg," not "laying a sperm."

Glad you're feeling better and good luck with the promotion!

The word of the day is "lehrgz" which is probably the sound you made passing your stone.

PollyME said...

Hehe

You guys rock! Get it?!?

(Still on pain meds (stoned), so you can't blame me for the cheesy humor.)


bjiwhzi was my word verification.

Which, FYI, is what you can't do when your urethra is blocked by a kidney stone.

Either that or it's something inappropriate for this family-type blog.

DonnaJo said...

Mine is "plsqfjh", which is think is the sound of flushing a stone down the crapper.

MrFisher said...

Oooh oooooh

mine is lipicvw

That does sound very un family blog like.

Just like me.

(hugs Polly's urethra gently)

See, told ya I was.

(I too am in pain killer la la land)

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. you wouldn't believe me if i told you that i forgot my username and PW. It was ATL something.

Where should I send the flowers?


Here's a tip: Ice cream makes the pain go away.

Anonymous said...

Cranberry juice. Cranberry juice, Cranberry juice. I hope i made my point. There is nothing better before during and after any type of infection in that area.

Belldemon said...

Tamara,

Nothing out of the ordinary. He used to drink a lot of iced tea, but after the first stone (6 mm) he stopped and switched to water.

That was over a year ago, and he still passes stones weekly and sometimes daily. Obviously, not all of them are large, and most of the time it's like sand.

Strange though.

Oh and Sly,
It's my uncle, not my grandpa. Grandpa's healthy as a horse. Well, as healthy as a 72 year old horse that has had a triple bypass and a recently installed pacemaker.

Polly,

If I forgot to mention earlier before taking over your comments with Uncle Gravel Pit stuff, glad you're feeling better.

Do the kids love to visit Uncle Gravel Pit because he has such a large sandbox? Hope not.

Polly's feeling s-o-o-o much better that she's gone off somewhere and forgotten us.

Bummer.

Where's Polly? Hmmmm...

Don't forget that Light Haired Man was coming to visit (care for) poor sick Polly.

I'll bet that there is a whole lotta' carin' going here..... :-)

Makes me think of the movie Barefoot in the Park... :-)
