Another Kidney Stone And More Events From Last Week

[@wawalker1]

Sorry about the kidney stone. Glad you are better and back. Happy birthday.

Thanks. It's my third time, so I need to be more vigilant on what I eat and drink now. Seems the Diet Pepsi may be adding to the issues as well for the kidney stone.

Hey Happy Birthday Russ🎉❤sorry to hear about your kidney stones. I had it once wasn’t too painful and passed through shortly after my ER visit. I’ll bet that pizza was absolutely yum!

Three times now and who knows when the 0.8 cm one will cause problems! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Hi Russ, so glad to see you back. So sorry about the kidney stones I’ve heard they can be very painful. In my area it’s hit or miss from any carrier. I had same issue with my Lectric XP 3.0. There was a huge hole in the box but the bike was fine.

[@morefromruss]

Yeah, their boxes can handle it, but wow... a huge hole is not something we want in the box!

Sorry to hear about the kidney stones. I had my first 9mm stone a couple of years ago. From the time the pain started to when the stent was removed was 2 months. My timing was bad. The urologist and operating room were booked being towards the end of the year. My urologist recommended to get 2 liters of water a day and also drink milk for calcuim which helps absorb the calcuim into your system. I've had the ocassional Amazon part time drivers drop off packages at my neighbors. Belated Happy Birthday!

2 months! Wow. Well, I hope my 0.8 cm stone stays and doesn't move! Thanks for the Birthday wishes!

Hi Russ. Belated Happy Birthday. Sorry you had a kidney stone. Glad there is a solution. I would take some prayers please. I am feeling horrible. I have a horrendous cough and my ribs hurt from coughing. Then I get a headache from all the coughing. My hubby does not feel well either but he a a tiny bit better than me. We head to the doctor this afternoon. I am curious if it is a bad cold or perhaps walking pneumonia. I need something to make me feel better. I think diet Pepsi is sweeter. My favorite is Diet Dr. Pepper.

PS I live in a gated community so our packages are secure on our porch. Weird though, one time my exercise cycle was delivered to my neighbors back porch! They had to traipse through the woods to get there. But on our next door app I see people looking for their packages all the time. Fortunately our mail carrier recognized a front porch in a photo to tell the person looking for it.

A few months ago went into the hospital. Had a hugebleeding ulcer.came home and a week later it hurt bad. Went back to the er. Kidney stones were there. Too big to pass so the had to operate to get them all out. Lost 20# in 2 weeks. Lost a lot of strenght.

I get packages all the time. I usually bring them inside so they don't get stolen. About 50% of the time the person shows up later that day looking for package. However, sometimes I had the packages for a week and I start wondering if I need to call UPS to get them to come get it. I use to deliver them myself but after reading my neighbors talk about what they were going to do to porch pirates, I thought it safer to not even try to deliver them.

Russ do you drink plenty of water during the day.

[@morefromruss]

Yes, I'm flooded all day long. 🤣

[@garywillhoit]

Soda helps cause kidney stones. Might check your diet . Hydration big issue.

[@morefromruss]

OK... I've got to cut back on the diet soda too it seems. Pizza may be ok, but I'll either have to drink water or bring a can of Sparkling Water.

[@dogface2022]

Sorry about the kidney stone. Size of a pencil? ... HS! And now you have to buy and cook your own chicken? OMG, kill me now! .. LOL Does Costco know about your rotisserie chicken boycott? ... They will probably have to layoff a couple workers in the food prep area of the store.... 🤪

[@morefromruss]

[@imRosco69]

Type 1 46+ yrs. Coke Zero over diet coke for the win.🎉

[@morefromruss]

Looks like I'm going to have to give up the soda due to the Kidney Stone! Sparkling Water it is for me now. 🙁
