Glad to hear you're feeling better! I had my uro appt this week too. Now I'm waiting on the results of the renal ultrasound, and the cystoscopy is scheduled in about a month. I put that appt off as long as I could get away with at the time, and it won't be beneath me to end up postponing it when it gets closer to the scheduled date, LOL! I still haven't started the Macrodantin (insert the sound of chickens cackling in fear here)...
Anyway, glad you're doing better!

Pugmom....Did you go to the ER and are you...
feeling better?
I thought of you this AM when I woke up and am hoping you got some help.
Thanks, Pugmom (sm)
I know my case is rare, and my pancreatitis is caused by cystic fibrosis. (I did a little research, and the original name for cystic fibrosis was cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.)
I was lucky that I never started drinking. My dad drank so much and then would beat up my mother and me. I think that's what turned me off to alcohol.
My daughter, on the other hand, is drinking more, she's on Seroquel, Xanax, a few others I can't remember AND a prescription for medical marijuana.
She keeps telling me that they think I'm an alcoholic, yet not ONE physician ever told me that, so I don't know where she gets that. Like I said, she thinks I'm "faking," and what I need from her is some tolerance and understanding because I'm slowly beginning to hate her, so I try to keep my distance. I get yelled at for every single thing I do in this house, and she's threatened to evict me on many, many occasions.
My relationship with her has always been somewhat contentious. She knew I was doing well in 2004 and 2005 (earning in the mid 40s). We had been talking about my moving in with her then. On day four of my first hospitalization, she bought a one-way airline ticket and brought me back to Colorado. We both thought this was just a one-time illness, but when the true cause was found, her attitude changed, particularly regarding money. So I realize now that the only reason she wanted me living with her was so she could get money. Now that I don't have any, she wants me out. (I AM keeping track of the months I didn't pay rent, and when Social Security goes through, I WILL pay her back.) After that, I'm not so sure I want anything to do with her, and you'd better believe I'm holding my tongue because I'm terrified of her. My 16-year granddaughter is turning into her mother, constantly being rude, and if I complain, then I get yelled at again.
My two little grandsons, though, are the loves of my life. Sweetness just runs through them.
Oh, my! This turned into another novel. I apologize. Thanks very much for your post. It means a lot to me.

Can't speak for Pugmom - but when I see () or J**B
I would much rather read Pugmom's posts than her hater's posts. The poster above needs to learn how to spell. No wonder she is so angry. She is an MT that cannot spell or make a proper sentence. 
Hi, Pugmom, now that you told me more
about your 3 pugs I start liking them and they are not scary to me any more.
We do not have dogs, that's perhaps why I reacted on impulse like that. We are more into cats.
Anyway, Pugmom, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, I did not mean to. I think if I'd met your doggies in person and action I would like them. Pictures do not say much.
BTW, I liked your 'egg' story you posted today, really funny!
See ya!
Pugmom! 12 on a pain scale? Go to the ER now, please. Let us know how you are as soon as you can pos
nm
Pugmom...How are you feeling today??.....
Did you get into the ED or your doc? What did they say? Hope you are feeling better today. Still keeping you in my thoughts.
As we do not hear from Pugmom, I guess
she went to the ER and they kept her there.
She will keep us posted when she returns home.
Pugmom....How are you feeling today?
We have not heard from you. How are you doing? Did you get to the ED? Did you get any meds? Hope you are feeling better and that no news is good news.
Pugmom..the ED checks records and will know that you are not a frequent flyer....sm
And believe me, there are some that are there like every other day.
Something else you might want to do too( I have typed urology both adult and peds for 19 years now and have lots of hints LOL) is to walk as much as possible, drink LOTS of water, and perhaps cranberry juice. The walking is supposed to help the stone get moving, the liquids are to help flush it out once it starts moving. The cranberry juice should help with the start of an infection.
Some people though, never pass their stone(s) and have not one iota of pain and suffering once the initial diagnosis is made.
I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. Myself and others were worried for you. Glad you are back.
