@JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...
Kidney Stones
-
I gave up caffeine 3 years ago - don't miss it, except for my Dr Pepper! Wish they would make a caffeine free version, I would be their best customer!!
I try to drink lots of water, but right now it's so painful when I 'go' that it makes me not want to drink. I hope I don't have to keep this stent for another week.

Sorry Terry,
fortunate to have no experience of this but i do hope the doctor sorts you out on tuesday, it sounds awful -
Terry, I am sorry to hear about your pain..not fun, I have no experience with kidney stones, but every single female three generations back hae had gallstones in my family, so I guess I am preparing myself for that one day..also very painful..
Ona different note, Dr Pepper does have a caffeine free version, at least here in Texas, regular and diet mind you..just thought I'd mention that..drink it myself on occasion..
Feel better soon.

Kidney stones must be bad my sister in law had four kids and no pain meds She got kidney stones they like to kill her said she would have 4 more kids before she wanted that ever again. She did pass hers said it felt like glass cutting her.

Thanks Petra for the Dr Pepper news! I have never seen it here in CA, but since we are moving to TX - hopefully before the end of the month, if my kidneys cooperate - I can get it there!! When my daughter was at Baylor, we even visited the Dr Pepper museum in Waco; lots of fun memorabilia.
BTW, I read that once you have a kidney stone, you have a 70 - 80% chance of them recurring. Wonderful…

Your welcome.
Hope to hear that your stones are cooperating and that the move went well.. -

Yippee! At my follow up appt today, we convinced the dr to take out the stent. I think I feel better already…
