HOrnbrod Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Get it bronzed and hang it from the rear view mirror. Great conversation starter. Don't do that if you ever get castrated though. Or have a hemorrhoid operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Pete - how's the recovery coming along? Getting back close to normal yet? Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 getting there. I still kinda just shuffle around the house trying to be useful (which can be a challenge considering my limitations). still, I hope to be well enough to drive back to michigan by mid next week. :D on the plus side, my bandages have been removed. and I look like I was in a knife fight!

Pete M Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Laproscopic. although with all the hoopla about how much more awesome it is over the old school slice-n-dice, I had a false sense of how "easy" the recovery would be. this still sucks. just sucks less i guess. still had a crew of docs playing the claw game up inside my chest. feels more like a roto-rooter was used. :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakedoc67 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I had mine taken out almost two years now (dec 27th, 2011). Woke up that morning feeling crappy like a serious gas bubble or a sore back from the neice jumping on it the night before. I had been planning to go move my Winnebago from the side of the highway where the waterpump failed a few days before (4 hours away in Salinas, KS). Decided to make a stop at the ER before leaving town just to make sure it wasn't something serious. They told me i was scheduled for surgury that night. Had no problems or warning signs leading up to it, just woke up feeling like $#!&. Asked for the stones but they wouldnt give them to me, what they did give me was a nick in a blood vessel when they took the catheter out. The pain everytime I took a piss after that was almost as bad as the stones, I'd have to say there was more blood than urine coming out for two days, and it didnt clear up completely for two weeks. Have a deathly fear of being cathetized now. LMAO. Been fine since and was back to normal habits the day i was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 It's never too late. I'm STILL suffering from post-removal issues. :( seems I'm one of the few "lucky" ones who's body doesn't seem to adjust to the lack o' gall bladder. but the Colastid (sp?) pills I'm on are making life tolerable. :D I can't eat everything yet (no fatty foods, no lettuce or carrots, no bubbles, etc), :( but I can at least eat the foods I was supposed to be able to eat without fear of needing a bathroom 30 mins later. :banana: (thank god I didn't need a catheter for anything. that sounds awful, snakedoc!)

Oyaji Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Yikes! Never thought to check the post dates, thought it was today. Belated best wishes then - better late than never, one would hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
