Ohhh NOOOOOO .. I *think* I'm getting a urinary tract infection or passing a

small piece of stone or something is going on ... NOOOOOOOO this better be gone by tomorrow morning when I wake up or off to the Dr. I will go immediately!!!  NOTHING will GET IN THE WAY of me having my surgery on the 9th ..... this *stinks* geez ... *stinks* I must repeat.  Stings bad when I urinate ..

I just cannot believe this (then again I can bcz the kidney stones react to stress big time I have seen the past 2 yrs I have had them) ........ what the heck .... if I have a UTI would they postpone the surgery if I wasn't on antibiotics I wonder.  UGH.

I have strong history of many UTI's due to stone fragments or debris passing ..... stones are too small to zap via ultrasound yet not large enough to cause really bad problems so they just stay there.

What else can I say .... :0

Cheryl,

After I had my surgery, I also was put on antibiotics.  One of the nurses referred to them as "Mega-antibiotics".  So I guess I was getting some really good stuff!

Much better this AM.  May have just been irritation from something small moving along.  They say something as small as a grain of sand can cause pain or if it has a jagged edge, can cut along the way out even if tiny.  I am relieved that this AM proves better vs. worse.  I'll keep an eye on things.

BTW, I am on Extra Strength Tylenol round the clock from this root canal and who knows what it really feels like in the *stone or UTI dept* ....... I suppose if the pain progresses into true kidney stone movement they would do pain killers, but luckily I've never gotten beyond strong anti-inflammatories and mild renal colic.

Today while driving in the car I felt nausea for no reason .. it crossed my mind something was up but dismissed it as I don't dwell on this stuff.  Then some chills on/off the past few days .. again just chalked it up to stress and the root canals, etc., etc. and getting over a cold.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo that is the answer to the pain meds and I would think the answer would yes if needed.  Hey, what better place to pass a stone the hospital, right << wink wink>>.

Oh my gosh girl, will you just get better long enough to get that thyroid out?!?!

Hey, if it helps, I had my last thyroid surgery with a bad case of the flu and a sinus infection.  I was on antibiotics and the anesthesiologist and surgeon knew (but knew it had to be done on that day) so they were fine with it.  They both told me NOT to tell the hospital staff though.

Hey, if I can get an anesthesiologist to "vacuum" out my sinuses during surgery so I won't cough when I wake up (Ewwwwwwww!), maybe you can get yours to look the other way while you pass a kidney stone!   Call your surgeon's office and talk to them.  

HANG IN THERE!!  Can they give you pain meds BEFORE the surgery??
