wife's in the ER

TRLCavscout,

If you're going to have trouble paying for the insurance I have all of the cash from the Colt still sitting here. I don't have an issue with getting you your money back if this is going to put you in a serious financial bind. Just send me a PM if you need to work something out...or call. Family comes before hobbies and I can understand the situation. I can hold onto the rifle for you until next month if need be. Prayers sent and best of luck with your Mrs's.

I reccomend this guy to deal with! I think it will be ok, course i havent seen the hospital/ambulance bill yet But thanks for the offer!!!

When you get it let me know. I'm not going to have the cash to purchase that SR-25 for a few months anyways...so the offer stands if need be. Hope she's doing alright and keep us posted.

Don't worry...if she's anything like my wife...she'll blame it on you for dragging her on a 3 1/2 hr car ride to buy a gun!

Timing is everything.

So last night a bit before 10PM, my 21yo daughter calls my wife - in absolute tears. She too was having lower abdominal pain and had experienced kidney stones before so she was sure that's what it was.

My daughters boyfriend took her to the hospital where my wife met them (I was told to just stay home).

They got an IV into my daughter fairly quickly but it took them 3 - 4 hours to do a CAT scan, but they verified that she has 5 kidney stones (a couple about 5mm, and 3 about 1mm).

They got her some good drugs so now she's just uncomfortable, not in pain. They didn't leave the hospital until after 0400 this morning.

Trlcavscout - I hope it's just stones for your wife (while very painful, at least it's not usually life threatening) and that she starts feeling better soon.

OK so not to hi jack thread, but how do you disolve/gid rid of kidney stones without surgery?

They just prescribed flo max and perkaset? I don't know how to spell it. And said drink water by the gallon.

Without surgury, all you can really do for them is "pass them". What they typically do these days for really large ones is use a ultrasonic targeting to shatter the stones. For some reason, they really don't like to do that procedure.

According to the doctor my daughter saw last night, stones are caused by too much calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. Oxalate is found in abundance in chocolate and leafey green vegetables. Not drinking enough fluids is also a major contributing factor (this is definitely a factor for my daughter).

There is a lot of info online about kidney stones. Here is one site for at home treatment: http://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/k...home-treatment

I did a Google search for "kidney stones at home treatment".

The hospital perscribed Motrin and percocet for my daughter.

man trlcavscout
i know how you feel
my wife had stones a few months back and i think i was panicking more than she was!
they wound up bustin the stones with ultrasound?i cant think of the name of the procedure-but afterwards she was doing better,slight discomfort when she was passing the remainder but nothing like the pain she had
good thing it want somthing serious!
Hang in there Bro!

I hope she feels better. The first kidney stone is very scary. The pain comes out of no where. My first I went straight to the hospital. I don't even bother to go anymore. I just take a pain pill and drink a lot of water.

Something else, caffeine promotes kidney stone growth. Even though I work for Pepsi, I only drink one a day or none a day, but drink 4 to 6 bottles of Aquafina.

Oh and awesome offer other guy. Very classy.

Stones ain't no fun.
Hope they pass quickly, and "relatively" painlessly.
Best wishes from here.
