Those of you who came out this weekend got a chance to meet junior-gunnut(Matt). His mother is Ogre_4070 on the site, and was also supposed to come. She had to miss it because she became ill, and it turned out to be a kidney stone. I spoke with her daughter this evening, and it seems that it is a pretty sever case. If it doesn't resolve itself by this weekend she may have to undergo some kind of procedure to fix the problem. I figured some well wishes to her and her family might cheer them up. Get well soon Tricia!!! |

I just wanted to say thanks for the well wishes. I have had a rough couple of weeks. As Va-gunnut said I did have a kidney stone. I also had a kidney infection and had a fever of 102 - 106 for five days and became dehydrated. The doctor wanted to hospitalize me but I refused. I was scheduled for a lithotripsy tomorrow (the 27th) but thankfully I passed the stone (huge) yesterday. I am feeling much better but still rather weak. Hoplophile, Evidently I am the only person va-gunnut has known to have kidney stones. Because I have a high tolerance for pain and am not a wimp, he is under the impression that they are as minor as a hangnail. If he ever experiences one himself, I am afraid he is in for a rude awakening. |
