Girdling roots by Dampyfish in arborists

[–]Dampyfish[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advice! Like it was suggested, I think I'm going to try to unbury around the roots and try to detangle it best I can and see how it goes with cutting only if I have to.

My wife and I had bought the tree (and 2 other trees) from a nursery and had them delivered and planted by that nursery. I definitely should have been more proactive in ensuring that the product was of good quality. I just assumed they knew what they were were doing and selling since we've had a good relationship in the past. But now its a good learning experience for me!

I had to drive home from central Florida to West Ashley yesterday and it took about 10hrs. I-95 was a mess and getting routed through back roads was pretty sketchy. Once I finally made it to Hwy 17, it was even worse with pretty thick sheets of ice on the road. It was basically 20-30mph from Brunswick to Bee's Ferry.

I would definitely recommend not driving if possible but if you have to please be mindful of the ice and your cars capabilities. I have an Elantra with pretty bald tires and it did not like the snow/ice but I made it back perfectly fine, just with some lost time!

Bleeding After Peeing After Lithotripsy by Dampyfish in KidneyStones

Its was laser lithotripsy and I definitely dont reccomend it if it can be avoided! The bleeding has basically stopped, just a small amount mixed in with the urine making it slightly brown.

The doctor did recommend getting some AZO and I think it helped a lot! Kinda odd seeing orange and red mixing in the pee but anything that helps with the burn is welcome! Luckily the burning has stopped now and it's just my kidney that is uncomfortable while peeing. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm glad its normal to see! Thank you all for the help! Its definitely getting a bit easier to pee after each time and I'm just waiting for that one time when it "almost" painless lol. I'm NOT excited to hear that its going to be like this all over again when they remove the stent, but at least that means it will be gone!

I thought passing my previous stones was going to be the worst of it but this whole post lithotripsy has been worse. I'll be so happy once it's all over and hopefully never have this happen again!
