Post-op

I made the hospital gown.

I was out of recovery in record time. I’m like, I got sh*t to do that isn’t be here.

I’m gonna take some meds which will probably knock me out, and sit in my recliner until midnight. Then I’ll take some meds that will probably knock me out, and go to bed.

I have been passing kidney stones for more than 3 decades. I have a birth defect of my kidneys that makes them form stones. Two different urologists have said it’s the worst they’ve ever seen.

“They” can do a lithotripsy. The recovery is like hell for 2 weeks. Then I don’t pass stones (or only tiny shards) for about 2 years. From there on out, I pass larger and larger stones (as they’ve been in there longer).

Last year I passed 48 stones in 49 days. There were 8 larger than 5mm, and the largest was 10mm. This year in April and May I suffered for 5 weeks and passed 14 stones in 2 days, which one was 10mm. Then in June I had an 18-day bout which produced 3, 8mm stones all at once.

The problem with lithotripsy is that currently I have 100% function of my kidneys despite the stones. But lithotripsy can only be done about 5 times, before all the laser ing produces scar tissue in the kidneys and then can never be done again.

And of course I’ve been told that “kidney stones don’t hamper your ability to work” so disability would be OUT, even if we currently didn’t make enough money to disqualify me - but you’d be surprised at how low that figure is.

My friend has a severely disabled son, and they told her if she makes more than $400 a month, they will take away his SS Disability, Medicaid, and EBT. Then TN decided that diabetes (which he also has) is not Medicaid-eligible. So now on basically zero income, she has to come up with 2, $700 vials of insulin for him every month.

Our medical “care” in this country SUCKS. Something needs to break.

I’ve had people ask me, how come I’m suddenly passing so many kidney stones?

I guess my lithotripsy warranty has run out.

I have a serious birth defect of my kidney, called Medulla Sponge kidney.  A very severe case of it, apparently.  I worked with a man who had a similar problem, and he said that a lithotripsy surgery would last him about 2 years, until he would have formed and began to pass stones large enough to pain him.

Here’s the thing.  If I had insurance (which I don’t) or had the money (which I don’t), I’m not sure I’d have the lithotripsy repeated.  The urologist was surprised, that as full of stones as my kidneys are, I have 100% function of them.   

I don’t know how many times they can blast away at things in there before I form enough scar tissue or adhesions that I don’t have full function of my kidneys.  

And while I’d rather have a kid any day than kidney stones, I have learned to live and deal with the pain, and I’d rather live with the pain than to live on dialysis.

Hello darkness (chronic pain), my old friend.

Consider Lithotripsy for Painful Kidney Stones

Individuals with large kidney stones 💎
