I Got Stoned II

Not the
A more painful stoned, GALL STONES

 Awoke Friday morning 3:00 AM with burning abdominal pain on the right side and puked twice.
Took some zantac, pain eased a little but for the next day I lived with it, didn't sleep because of the pain Fri. night.

Sat. morning the wife insisted I see a Doctor and I agreed as the pain was getting worse
Went to a walk in clinic as our personal Dr. office was closed. There they did X-Rays that showed the possibility of a stone and recommended an ultra sound and blood and urine tests at an E.R. Hospital (Mercy in Redding).
We get there and have the battery of tests done that confirmed a large gallstone that was blocking the main bile duct. Vital signs very high 170/111 B.P. Temp 102. lab work showed a twice average white blood cell count indicative of major infection.
 I'm admitted to the hospital around 5:00 P.M. and given an I.V. of saline sol., with antibiotics and pain killer.
They tell us, (my loving wife Mo and daughter Hannah along side) the soonest I would get surgery could be 9:00 PM or 3:00 AM Sun. morning. So we wait it out and find out at 11:00 PM, that the Surgery would be pushed back until sometime Sunday morning. My wife goes home for some sleep as I ride the wait out in bed all drugged up
.
 My wife returns Sun. at 7:30 AM and still no confirmed surgery time yet. We spend the morning waiting for the green light that doesn't come until 1:00 PM  I'm wheeled into the O.R., prepped and put under, next thing I know they are waking me in the recovery room and I'm wheeled back to my room. The only pain I am experiencing is the God Damn catheter shoved up my dick. and more pain when they remove it!

The wife and daughter:smt008 bless there hearts, comfort me the rest of the evening as I learn the burning pain of pissing after catheterization OUCH! she heads home at 11:30 for some well deserved sleep, while I recover and get checked for vitals every 2 hours and don't sleep a wink.

 Maureen is back at my room at 8:00 AM Mon. as I eat my first real meal in 3 days They continue to monitor me until the Dr. walks in at 3:00 PM and asks me how I feel. I tell him "I FEEL GREAT except for the burning pain every time I pee" He then asks me if I want to go home. DUH. I tell him "as soon as possible" and an hour later we are on the way home with pain meds in hand.

 And that is how Tad and Mo spent their weekend

PS: yes, it still burns when I piss





 

Tad, I am so glad everything came out OK.  Boy, that really sounds like quite a indescribably painful experience!     Wish you and your wife a speedy recovery!!!

bummer tad, sorry for your pain but glad you are o.k. (well except for the zappa song going on in your pants), cameron

Now you know what it feels like to piss razor blades and barbed wire at the same time.
BTDT.

Ouch!

Glad you got it fixed, get well soon man!

I know your pain Tad. I also had a blocked and infected gall bladder back in '03. Now long gone thankfully, but it took my doctor/hospital 7 months to figure it out. It was a long time in pain.

I am glad to hear all is well. That was a very painfull experience, the ER doc had me on dalauded. Man what a ride! Hope you got some too.

 I sat around for a week and then was promply back at the cove salmon fishing. 

Take it easy and dont forget to let the wife to all the work.

Get well soon!!!!  There are probably a few fish missing you.  It also sound like your wife is building up a lot of husband points: but, I don't think paying these off will be hard on you.

I got it from the toilet seat. It jumped right up....and grabbed my meat!!

Sorry...I couldn't resist. 

Hope you feel better soon. Yikes!!

Thanks all,
Feeling much better now, pissing without pain and eating solid food.
The Doc told me the gallstone was the size of a golf ball

the ER doc had me on dalauded. Man what a ride! Hope you got some too.
