CatNipped - 19 Aug 2004 23:57 GMT Well, I'm scheduled for 11:00AM CDST tomorrow (Friday, August 20), and knowing how powerful the purrs from this group are, humbly ask for some purrs that the lithotripsy goes smoothly with no complications.
Thanks guys.

It's a "same-day" procedure (out-patient surgery), so if everything goes OK I should be home tomorrow, bruised, but minus one kidney stone (or I should say instead of one kidney stone blocking my right kidney I'll have thousands of little calcium flakes to be "flushed" away ;>).

I understand kidney stones are very painful so you are sure to be much better when it's been done. Chin up, chicken! Soon be over. Best of luck. When you are in the hospital think of all your cat group friends sending healing purrs, it might comfort you.

I've asked for dental purrs in the past, and when I was sitting there at the dentist's, I thought of all the cats purring for me around the world, and just felt like laughing. It really helps! BTW, I'm seeing the dentist again today (Friday), but I'm not scared any more. :o)

You got it! I will be at the yard with my truck but not on the road yet, so I'll be sending my best thoughts your way, and the four furkids at home will be sending their most powerful purrs and meatloaf meditations your way.

CatNipped - 20 Aug 2004 01:16 GMT > No idea what it is, but lots of purrs that it goes smoothly. Thanks Victor. A lithotripsy is when they shoot sound waves at a stone that's blocking your kidney's proper functioning and pulverize it. Don't ask me how they pulverize the stone without pulverizing your innards, though, I haven't a clue!

Jo Firey - 20 Aug 2004 01:20 GMT > > purrs that the lithotripsy goes smoothly with no complications. > > No idea what it is, but lots of purrs that it goes smoothly. Put very simply they dunk you in a tank of water and direct vibrations in the general direction of your kidneys which break up kidney stones without damage to the soft tissue and bones that are you. Kind of like making sand out of boulders.

And wish I'd been conscious to remember it. But it was a piece of cake and a huge relief to have it done and the stones broken up.
Lots of purrs for everything to go smoothly and for you to be well and relaxed.

The procedure may not be your idea of fun or anyone else's, but hopefully, you will feel MUCH better for having had it once it's all over. I know someone who went through lithotripsy about 15 years ago, and SHE certainly felt better afterwards. In the intervening 15 years, I imagine they've learned a lot about perfecting the technique, and making it more effective.

Now, I guess i"ve missed something somewhere (there's over a thousand messages that I haven't read and probably will never catch up on at the moment) but what is a lithotripsy?

Usually you sit in a water bath and there are some sort of sound waves that break up the stones into powder. Dennis' sister has bad kidney stones and is constantly having lithotripsies. I think it must be a relatively new thing because when I was 3 my mom had kidney stones and they didn't have that treatment and she spent a lot of time in the hospital drinking beer and skipping rope :-( -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

And you would usually have to travel quite a ways to a place that had the set up.
The up side was they put us up at a really nice local resort the night after as part of the package. So they could check on all the days patients at one convenient place.
