Greetings from the Kettering hospitals coffee bar and day spa
We are still searching for the details, but the back surgery I had two weeks ago seems to be going fine. Unfortunately it caused or exacerbated a different problem related to my bladder and/or prostate.
When the doctors asked to rate my pain level from 0 to 10 I never said 9 or 10 even when Vicki would whisper “Tell them 10.” Until now. My God - the pain in my lower gut is a solid 11 with a bullet. I have NEVER experienced pain like this. They’re hauling me to a bigger hospital in about an hour to see if they can figure out what’s going on.

Sure it's not a kidney stone? Be sure they check that..

I had extreme pain with an enlarged prostate that almost lead to kidney failure.
I hope what you have can be diagnosed accurately and relieved quickly.

Prayers, positive thoughts, maybe a good sage stick, and next time use lube?
Good luck, WD! Get better soon, sir!

That's not very nice WD. Good luck with them find out exactly what it is and fixing it.
doctors asked to rate my pain level from 0 to 10 I never said 9 or 10 The last time I felt pain like that was the day they told me the SC had broken head studs. |

1:30 AM the nurse came in and put a bunch of those sensors that they use for EEGs on my crotch! I don’t know what they’re looking for. It maybe some kind of torture device.
Loren the nurse saw me in my room. “Hey, what are you doing back here?” I told her I was getting a catheter at Kettering but they didn’t have any long enough, so they sent me here to Reid. She rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t forget I was your nurse before. “

Oh man ! That sounds terrible Patrick ! I hope they quickly discover the cause.
Are you sure you didnt rupture yourself hauling that fat wallet to the bank after selling the WD ?

Will pray for you, brother! (And your care givers to figure it out). Sounds like they’re being fairly proactive.

Sorry to hear about this WD. As mentioned above a kidney stone? I hope they fix you up okay. I understand what you are going through as the pain I had with a kidney stone is right up there. I am slated for water works surgery with a catheter installed this January.
I am confident they will find what is wrong with you and fix you up. Cheers, Guy. |

You are at the right place, in the hospital. Hopefully on a IV drip with dial a smile morphine drip.
Once they insert that extra long catheter maybe you will get some relief.

I seem to recall an earlier thread regarding a urinary issue (pee blood). Possibly related? What a nightmare. At least your sense of humor is still intact.
