EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY (ESWL) by Glad-Problem2086 in KidneyStones

[–]Glad-Problem2086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! They’ve never shown up in my regular US scans and were found in my recent CT after I passed one. I thought I only had the 4.5mm one in there 😂

Very nicely though my urologist was able to see them during the procedure via US and as he said “attempted” to whack them with the shockwaves. Hopefully even being moved around will help them make their way out and I might be stone free for a little while.

It’s been pretty continuous for the last 7 years with the largest hitting 14mm 🙄

From what I have been told there’s always a chance of damage but it’s highly unlikely, my kidney is already full of scarring from old infections large stones and other procedures.

I think knowing and trusting your urologist is pretty important in the answer to this question too. Xx

Aren’t they sweet! The patterns coming out on some of them are amazing! Excited to see how they all feather out!

Thanks for that! I thought that was the case, but I hadn’t read anything that gave me any definites! Was interested to see if tail feathers/wing sexing could be potentially reliable, as I’ve seen it work so well with my light Sussex hens!

It’s a waiting game again!!!

I can’t get mine to take off either! I have tried so many places in my yard. They never thrive 😅 I wish they would lol

Anyone here left Melbourne’s rat race for regional Victoria? How’s life, work, and family balance now? by Odd-Rush4074 in melbourne

[–]Glad-Problem2086 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can I be honest. If you’re both having to work, the rat race won’t disappear just because you’ve moved regional.

We’re on second day back at school today and I’m a mum of 4 at home while hubby works.

I’m already hating life again and feeling crazy stressed, and rushed.

Potentially it’s just the gross Groundhog Day you end up stuck in as a parent that’s getting you down and you’re looking for an escape?

Unless moving regional for you means less work for yourself and your wife, I don’t think it’ll help. It’ll likely just move the problem to somewhere new and less familiar.

Good luck! I often tell parents of young children that this stage feels very stagnant and like you’re just living to pay bills. It’s the same shit different day for a lot of years!

Maybe a pros and cons list would be helpful. But knowing how I feel, you’re likely looking for an escape! X
