As some of you may know I was in the hospital last week with kidney stones. They were horrible. I had to stay for 5 days. I am home now and had to go back to the pcp today as the same pain and symptoms started up again yesterday. They tested my urine again today and it still had blood in it. They're pretty sure that it is still kidney stones and are sending me to a urologist. I absolutely panick when I had to see a doctor let alone a specialist. My grandmother had to have half of her kidney removed because of cancer years ago and is 82 and doing great and my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer a year ago so naturally I'm terrified I have cancer. They have not even mentioned cancer but I come home and because I'm so scared get on the internet and some people with my symptoms do end up with cancer. My husband is mad at me and tells me to quit reading into things when they clearly seen the stones I've already passed but I sure would appreciate everyone's prayers. I'm scared to death. I can't even think straight but I knew I could count on you guys for support. It may not be anything more than stones, they sent me home with pain pills and that's it. I just thought I would ask for your help.

Thank you all in advance,

Love you all,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know what that paralyzing pain feels like; as I've had to pass a stone once.

You must be like me; doing ALL the research and dwelling on the worst case scenarios. Please, don't do that to yourself. I'm learning that it does you no good. The internet is a wealth of information, but I've learned that it scares me to death.

Best of luck; keep us posted.

Thank you all so much. Your right, I am reading only the worst and just figuring I have it. I know you all think I'm crazy but really I'm not. I just have a real phobia with doctors. I have passed 4 stones and they have been sooooo painful. They did finally give me something for pain, they didn't the day they released me so that is helping alot. Thanks for all your replies, you all are my family and I knew you would be supportive. Hope I can be of help to you all some day.

Love you all,

I'm sure you're in the thoughts and prayers of everyone here. Think good thoughts and wait and see what they have to say, don't let yourself dwell on what might be.

"Father, I pray for my friend, I pray against cancer in the name of Jesus. I pray that you would heal her and that you would supernaturally intervene on her behalf. I pray that no weapon formed against her would prosper and that anything in her body that is trying to come against her, sickness, disease, would be cast out in the name of Jesus. I thank you Father for your will being done, In Jesus name, Amen."

Thank you so much Babyback. I really appreciate it more than you will ever know. I have been so nervous and upset. I don't know why I let these thought's cloud my judgement. The doctor has never even mentioned the word cancer and why I always think this is beyond me. I guess my mother coming down with it last year now I think every time I get a cold it's cancer.

Thank you again, I am a firm believer in "If God can bring you to it he can bring you through it"

You know what they say, "If you are going through hell, don't stop!!! HE will bring you through it and you will be refined in the process. Just draw near to Him and He will give you that peace that passes all understanding.

You will remain in my prayers! Audree

Kidney stones are horrible... I know how you feel - I have had a total of 18 of them since my daughter was born in 1989. I really feel for you... The urologist will be able to find out if there are anymore left in youir kidneys and help you prevent further attacks.

I bled after each attack too, my doctor said it was because the edges of the stones are sharp and can cause some bleeding as they make their way out - if they are small enough to do so alone.

I will keep you in my prayers!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
