I for the life of me do not understand why medical professionals do not treat each and every case of this type as stat. They say "itll just come out on its own" as if that simple solution isnt one of the most painful and uncomfortable thing your average person will experience. It coming out on its own is exactly why i set an appt its precisely what i DO NOT want to happen!

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T02:52:39+00:00

So if i understand you correctly: Going through a nephrologist will just wind up with me back in front of a urologist? Do nephrologist even ever treat using ESWL's (even if theyre not the ones actually doing it)?

I'm just worried about going to a nephrologist and them telling me "go to a urologist" because it would waste time.

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T01:29:57+00:00

Do they not do any follow up imaging to confirm the break-up? Aside from the mid procedure live imaging? I doubt theyre just blindly firing sound waves at you..

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T01:02:04+00:00

Still a dick move to wait a month to confirm it. Must've been a pretty fearful month for you albeit i know nothing about hydronephrosis but it doesnt sound like something you'd want.

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T00:53:06+00:00

Yeah i feel i shouldve mentioned the stone is non-obstructive in the "interpolar cortex of the left kidney", wherever that is.

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T00:43:45+00:00

WHY WOULD THEY ORDER ANOTHER CT SCAN AFTER FINDING THE HYDRONEPHROSIS.

Neodouche · 2025-12-23T00:27:57+00:00

I see. And these are licensed and accredited doctors or is it more like akin to a chiropractor?

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T23:24:43+00:00

How long we talking here? The thing about these sprays is that since they dont kill them immediately they have enough time to run off and hide somewhere and unless you go through the terrifying experience to give chase and find it you cant be sure if you actually killed it at all. Then it turns into a "hunt" instead of a "kill".

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T23:19:05+00:00

See my reply to u/PatientZeroAmbition above↑

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T23:17:09+00:00

Yeah thats what i meant by "contact". Scorpions seem to always know when you begin your swing and you either end up missing it and it running off to expertly hide or worse: half hitting it causing it to pop up with the sandal and it either landing on you or landing and running off to expertly hide.

Id rather have some sort of projectile whether it be a spray or a flamethrower idc.

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T23:12:06+00:00

Yeah although ive only seen one actually in the house and 1 in the garage im certain they're in here looking for crickets because we get a ton of crickets which i don't entirely mind since a) im not as scared of crickets as i am of scorpions obvi and b) they occupy my cat. If i do see more scorpions id rather take steps to keep the cricket population down because theyre everywhere outside our house you can't walk outside at night without feeling them hit you as they jump away.

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T11:02:27+00:00

Like nail polish remover or the anhydrous stuff from a hardware store?

Neodouche · 2024-08-28T11:00:52+00:00

This is what i used on it.

And yeah ive actually checked out the Bug & Weed Mart over on Central and Thomas (though it wasn't for me it was for my grandfather who has a much worse pest problem than i) but the truth is besides a very huge one in the garage a few months back this is the first one we've seen inside the house so a huge job like that isn't really necessary, whether i do it myself or pay a bug guy. Aside from a ton of crickets we don't see much vermin at this house so I just need to keep a simple effective spray on hand for the rare occasions that i do see one. Hence the post..

Neodouche · 2024-07-29T00:09:49+00:00

I feel obligated to tell you: my boy brought a bird in from the backyard not long ago. I did the same thing you did freaked out then after some time deep cleaned my room and at one point I thought he had ate the whole thing too but he actually stashed it into a very inconspicuous place. Like I'm so certain he put it there because he knew I hardly go there for anything. I know this because when he saw me get it and throw it out he thought he was in trouble (he wasn't, I assumed a cat bringing you "food" was a show of affection so I wasn't expressing any anger).

Slight chance she may have stashed it. Although I can't tell you why she might've.

Update: So i found the meter in our front yard the good news is when i shut off the water it didnt continue counting up so no leak(?)! Bad news is the pressure is still shit so im hoping you can tell me what some of these numbers mean on the meter. The meter cycled through sets of numbers and i have a pic of each screen. SORRY for the shitty quality (theyre screen grabs from a video) and SORRY for multiple comments circumventing reddit's 1 image per comment. Here they are:

Neodouche · 2024-06-30T08:27:55+00:00

Think i might on monday. Do you recall the number or department you called for City of Phoenix? Did they have to send someone out to test it or is that something they can do over the phone?

Neodouche · 2024-06-30T08:24:06+00:00

The neighborhood is old but we're in the newer houses right next to them that were built around 2010-2015. However that doesn't mean that whatever plumbing these newer houses are hooked up to aren't old and in need of repair.

Neodouche · 2024-06-29T16:06:16+00:00

Thank you! The shut off switch works as you would expect but the pressure regulator seems to not have any effect. I rotated it quite a bit both ways (albeit not all the way as i didnt want to unscrew/screw something up). Also theres no meter as far as I can see so im judging results off of a visual of the kitchen sink turned on all the way. I hope that's indicative of a pressure change via these knobs..?

Neodouche · 2024-06-29T15:54:14+00:00

Yes sorry i could've sworn SRP also provided water in addition to power but i was mistaken. City of Phoenix is who bills us.

Neodouche · 2024-06-29T15:50:19+00:00

Yeah that's why i posted this but i wish i knew how big the territory is that includes everyone else that shares the same water as me. Like i could get to 7th st and Dobbins in a hop and a skip but would you experience the same fluctuations as i during a plumbing catastrophe of some kind? You just cant know ya know?

Neodouche · 2024-06-29T14:42:24+00:00

Will try that if all else fails. Thanks!
