Title: Blake has been rushed to the hospital!
Post by Elaine on Dec 31st, 2002, 8:16pm
I just got a call from Jackie. Blake started throwing up and it kept getting worst. Jackie told him she was taking him to the hospital, as she was getting dressed he collasped. He was taken in a amblance, they are doing a cat scan on him now. She said they found blood in his urine.

Prayers and good wishes are needed.

I am thinking of you Blake as I have been all afternood.
Jackie I hope my prayers can hold you up!

Blake will be just fine.  Jackie will see to that.  Thanks for letting us know, E, and when you next talk to Jackie, send her our love.  She already has our prayers.  Maybe this is the catalyst Blake has been needing to break this horrific cycle he's in.  
Clusterprayers going up here tonight.

Blake is OK.  He had a huge kidney stone.  We were in the emergency room for over 5 hours but he talked the doctor into letting him come home.  He is/was one sick man.  He had his "normal" noon cluster attack and then this hit.  The only good thing about the whole deal is the early evening CH didn't happen... :)  I'm hoping the midnight one leaves him alone too.

Thanks for posting, E.......and thank all of you for the thoughts and prayers.  This is a great family....even though the reason we are SUCKS!!!!

Some fine way to get "stoned" on New Years Eve... >:(
(pardon the pun... ::))

Love to you all and Happy New Year :-*

Scared the crap outta me!

Jackie, tell Blake I hope he's feeling better, and I hope the clusters got scared enough to stay away for a while.
Happy new year,
Mast

Jacks, how you two must have suffered, before you knew...

I am so happy for you that it is "only" a stone. Now Blake can tell us whether clusters are worse then kidney stones.

With Margi I hope this might do something to break his cycle.

Thinking of you both, in love.

Thank God....I don't know Blake too well, but he sounds like one strong dude.

Good Luck and hoping he has some PFY's (Pain Free Years).

As soon as I read that opening I told Mary "that sounds like a stone to me." Since 1975 I've passed 76 of those mothers. And yeah, the big ones hurt as much as a CH, just move the pain to your lower back and groin. Lots o' fun. NOT!

Glad Blake is ok, he handles the beast, he can deal with the stone. Stay away from coffee until it's gone and push fluids like crazy! NO DAIRY products!

Wishing ya'll the best in 03!

Michael

Michael,
Thanks for the tips.  Damn, I'm gonna miss my coffee for a while it looks like.  I was just about to have some cheese and crackers .  I guess that's out too.

"76" of those bastards ???  You are one tough dude.

                     BLAKE

Title: Re: Blake has been rushed to the hospital!
Post by Peppermint on Jan 1st, 2003, 3:08pm
Thank goodness.
I just hope that the beast bastard stays the hell away and gives you some much wanted relief.....for a very long time.  
Bless you both -
Goofy  ;)

Blake: Yeah, well the stones are a present from everyone's favorite uncle... Sam. Got sprayed with agent organge a couple of times in Nam and the stones are part of the results. All but 4 have been "gravel" that's a small stone, usually just a bit bigger than a BB. Still no fun.

There are two types of stones. 1 is uric acid. 2 is calcium oxolate. The first type of stone you can use cranberry juice to help with them, the second type, cranberry is an absolute no-no. So is caffiene, and carbonated soda with carmel coloring in it (no colas dude!) and limit your intake of dairy especially cheese and milk.

We are not supposed to do tea either but I drink tons of it while passing a stone. Why? It's a mild diuretic (that means it makes you pee). The more you pee, the more you move the stone and the quicker you get it passed.

Once the stone hits the bladder there is a major relief in the pain, until it starts passing through... uh, you know.

Common symptoms are" Lower back pain on the side of the stone. Pain in the abdomen on the side of the stone, and feeling like a NFL field goal kicker bagged you really bad.

PUSH FLUIDS like crazy, it's the key.

Good luck dude, and hang tough!

Michael

Thanks for the information, Michael.....It was nice talking with you and Mary too. :)

I think the patient is feeling better.... :)
He just asked if I would make him some cinnamon rolls...it's 9:00 pm. ::)  Oh well, he's looking all pitiful so I guess I better turn the oven on.... :P  
This shit better stop pretty soon..... ;D

Blake and Jackie,

It was great talking with you guys on the phone. Thanks for the call! I think we trade some very good and valuable information.

I really appreciate the suggestions and help that you gave Mary. She's been pretty frustrated with this whole ch bit.

Post by Edna on Jan 3rd, 2003, 12:18am
same here ree,     but best wishes to ya Blake

my husband had that,  Michael's advice is sound....all the same the docs advised us with

stay away from the carbonated drinks especially

my hubby was an addict.........that pain was so bad it pushed him away from them

He used to always say he would of gladly had a baby if he could of...........well ask him that now......the answer has changed..........said that stone hurt sooooo bad that if it was HALF as bad as child labor, forget it.......he would never do it now even if he could.

So that kinda gives us some idea as to how bad it is for you, so sending you well wishes

Hope it passes you soon
