,

Thanks! I am glad to hear you are getting out and about. Are you feeling

better? I am going tomorrow to have more x-rays and test for this blasted kidney

stone! I am sitting on my heating pad right now. I have not been able to get

off of it much today. I don't have any strong pain meds in the house. I weaned

myself off of everything but darvocet and hydrocodone. I wish I had something

stronger right now though. I am miserable. Sorry to whine. The kidney stone is

not quite as bad as the pancreas pain though. I have been blessed with a

pretty high pain tolerance so I can deal ok. I hope tomorrow they decide to go

ahead and do the thing where they crush it or something. I thought I had passed

it but I didn't. I started moving again on Sunday. I spent the whole day Sunday

throwing up and fighting pain. I didn't want to go back to the ER. So I

toughed it out. Yesterday was a little better but today has been a doozy!

Tomorrow

will tell the tale!

I hope you are getting better and stronger every day!

Love ya',

Hey, how are you feeling? I hope that you have fully recovered from

your surgery or at least feeling a ton better. Did ya'll ever go on

that camping trip you were planning a while back? I have been beaching

it a lot with the kids. It is one of few places I can take them where

all I have to do is pack a cooler with snacks and drinks (as long as

they carry the cooler...LOL) and then just sit there and watch them

have at it and not have to worry about entertaining them. Besides it

is so hot outside the beach is so much cooler.

Take care and let me know if there is anything you need.

Warmly,

I cant believe that youhave had such a horrible time of it withthose

stones. Talk about bad timing. Do talk the docs into doing the

lipsotripsy (sp?) to balst those kidney stones. I have had somany

patients with them and I know how excruciating they can be. That

procedure works great. Did they ever say whay you have these so

often?

I am doing alittle better but its slow going. There is so much I

cant do and that frustrates me terribley. Its only been 6 weeks

since the emergency surgery and 8 weeks from that other one so I

guess it really hasn't been that long. We have really enjoyed the

beach. I love to take long walks when I go but have not been able to

do much walking with out the pain stopping me in my tracks. I ran

out of pain meds a couple of days ago and it has just been horrible.

But at least I can lay on the sand and let the kids play and even

float around in the water to cool me off.

Let me know what the doctor has to say tomorrow and know that you are

in my prayers. I hope you not having any panc pain any longer and

tht your surgery is healing well.

Warmly,
