NOoooooo!

Today I am feeling like I have a stone brewing inside me. I have been hitting the water pretty hard for the past few hours hoping to get rid of this thing pretty quick. It is just a sharp pain in my lower back that creeps around to my belly button; the normal pain I get when I have a kidney stone.

I hope it is nothing but I will keep you posted.

PS. Dad has already passed 3 stones this year and it is only the 2nd week of february.

My first Trip to the Urologist - WOW!!!

My 1st trip to my Urologist wasn't really what I was expecting.

1st off my dad's Urologist was on vacation and he had a man hater, woman Urologist filling in for him. Well this really made me nervous, the tone of voice she used and the questions she was asking me really didn't make me feel like I had a kidney stone at all. She had me convinced that I had contracted an STD of some sort from some dirty hooker that I picked up along the way some where, I thought for sure that I must have slept walked down to the local hoe stroll and caught something. So instead of sending me to the X-ray room to take a shot of my kidneys she decided to run some STD test on me first. Oh what fun!!!

If you have ever had this mind numbing experience please bear with me if not hold on because here we go.

This devil of a Urologist thought it would be better for me if she laid me down on a cold ass doctor's table and run some "special" test on me and my junk. Now I have have no clue what is going on; she tells me to drop my pants, and she is checking everything out and then the unthinkable happens. She stuck a (what seemed to be) full size Q-tip up my pee hole... that is right straight up it no lube of any kind just dry cotton ripping through me. In my unprofessional opinion nothing I mean nothing should ever go up that hole... EVER!

Now picture a 18 year old male screaming like a 7 year old girl that just fell off her bike and cut her knee. You now have the visual of me laying on that table with tears in my eyes wonder how some evil Woman could do this such a thing to me and for no reason; no reason at all. Then she went on her marry little way all happy and in a good mood, not feeling like she just violated me or anything, just as happy as she could be.

She comes back into my room and tells me to got to the X-Ray room just in case there is a Kidney Stone... Low-and-behold; sure enough there is the first Kidney Stone of my collection.

Thanks for nothing Doc, that was the last time I have ever saw her but I will remember her name for the rest of my life.

Kidney Stones and the way I deal with them

My Name is Scott and I am 31 years old, as of April 06, 2009 I passed my 22nd Kidney Stone. I have been growing kidney stones since I was 18 years old (thanks Dad). I have started this blog to help myself and other deal with their battle with kidney stones. I thought it would be pretty interesting to do my own studies on how many Kidney Stones my body produces in my life time.

I will be talking about my pain and my suffering and the joys of finally passing the stones to everyone that cares to read about them. I will post photos of the final stone just so everyone can see, if you have ever passed one you will understand why it is such a joy and a appolishment to finally get rid of your stone.

As of right now I am cleaned out "No Stones". Last year I had 3 lithotripsy and I also passed two on my own. So far this year I have only passed one.

Here it is #22 - 04/06/2009

Yes it is sad but true, I try to catch and keep everyone that I have passed. But sadly I misplaced my jar that I had for over 10 years so I had to start a new one this past year. I like to compare then to a pencil just so people can see just how large or small they really are.
