Okay---you guys. Most of you are aware the trials we (DH and I) have been through with those damned kidney stones!!! GOOD NEWS---we went for the follow up visit yesterday with the urologist re: post surgery and tests!!
The SIX stones remain there and we will sit on them but at least no further treatment (at this time!!!) is necessary--- May be lazer in the future but we will try conservative management which includes.......
Changing diet from what his cardiologist suggested TWO years ago and he has done incredibly well with---soooo no change there!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?????
Reading through tons of info, the only change that we could possibly make is to delete TEA from his intake---HE LOVES ICED TEA!!!! Now I need an alternative for him---something high is citrates. I know about lemonade etc. ---any other suggestions?? This is getting to be a little confusing with all of the different medical conditions---crazy, in other words!!! I kinda think his heart thingy is more important......NO????
What a nightmare but the BEST NEWS!!! He is almost my man again---he has gained about 7 pounds, needs another 4 and we are back to where he should be----YIPPEE!!! His energy has returned and he has returned to his almost "normal" routine!!!! The position required for the surgical procedure exacerbated his low back condition BUT that is a "piece of cake" considereing what else he has been through!
Thanks again for your support!!!! Could not have done this without you!!! Hugs from me!!!
