The only reason I'm feeling no pain is vicodan + vioxx.

So far so good.

OK. You're starting to sound like Darsh.

It's really sweet of the urologist to tell me that kidney stones are one of the most painful
things known to modern medicine, I can't wait.

Now you're really starting to sound like Darsh. Ouch.

Good luck. I'd say we feel your pain, but that would be insulting.

They analyzed the one they went and took out. It was calcium oxylate. Remedy = drink lots of
water and watch out for foods high in oxylate. They did other tests also and nothing was found.
They test your parathyroid hormone.

What on earth is oxylate? I've never seen it on a label ...

Quoted message said:

I'm sure your urologist will keep you informed of what's going on. It is pretty basic stuff for
them. I always get nervous filling out insurance forms when they ask about renal problems. I
don't know if this is a problem or not

Why would insurance have issues with this?

Yup, that's how they got my first one out back in the late '80's.

The stone was impacted somewhere in my uretor, and the plan was to go in (!) and "poke" it back up
into the kidney, and then perform litho on it to crush it up. Almost certainly would have meant
leaving a stint in me, which I *REALLY* didn't wish to ponder.

However, when they went in (!#*#$*@(!!~!), the stone had moved down enough for them to just pull it
out with the scope/basket contraption. A little morphine, some Vicadin for the road, and all was
well...(at least until the next one a few years later).

The Foes is so cool on the snow, and I am getting better and better. The sensation of being off
the seat... carving through the powder with handlebars in my hand, AlpineStar boots on. I look
like an idiot. I like to say that the percieved idiocy ends when I hit the gap without catching
the rear ski, slide the three picnic tables, and land with a SLAP on the icy run-out.

The thrill involved in just hitting it. There is no stopping. No brakes. The trail is lined in
trees. There is no twisting the bike to the side for a fast stop. There is no slowing for a near
tree miss. The trees just come as you go. You have to negociate them, or crash into them. Catch
an edge, and you are doomed to a solid growing structure. There is no room to slow down, or
check a trail. You just have to go, and turn with the trial.

darsh

Good to hear you're still tearing it up!

I am just an idiot. That is what I tear up.. the idiot that is me.

I tested the body armor immediately. It only took a flat-light day, a lot of speed, a chairlift full
of screamers, and I hit the new powder with no visibility at probably 35.

The bike stopped in a light, I flew into the air. I think I did 2 flips, but it was probably 1
before hitting and sliding. I grew very sore in a few hours and bailed home.

I am looking towards 14ers (mountains) now. My ribs are bruised. I can't ride and hit the park jumps
like I want. I just need to get ready for climbing.

Now I sit day-trading and healing. Hitting the gym (home style). I am pretty apprehensive for the
new 14ers I have in mind, and the routes. Makes me quesy thinking about it so I know I will be
occupied....hehe

I had 2 stints in me for about 1 month. The kidneys keep contracting and trying to push them out. It
really hurts. Not all the time but periodically they contract. They gave me some medicine that
turned my urine kind of fluorescnet orange too. They told me don't get it on anything, it will
stain. My whole ordeal from start to finish was about 2 months before I felt better.
