Dang folks!! What a surprise!! Hi!! I'm baaaaack!! For however long remains to be seen. Anyway, how does everyone like the change in mylot so far? I'm not sure yet since it's so new to me. Had a heck of a time finding the start discussion area but I'm here!! I've been sooooo darn busy that I hadn't had time to come on here and rarely got the chance to check my email. There's a lot to tell but to give a run down, mom is back in rehab but a short term one this time and not the hell place she was at before. We did finally find out what's wrong with her. We knew she had a kidney disease in which would produce kidney stones. Her bones never took in calcium normally and would form into kidney stones so she had to watch her intake of calcium. Here you and I take it to help our bones but mom couldn't because too much it would turn into kidney stones. Her left kidney is doesn't work anymore essentually, it's dead however, it's three times it's normal size but a stint was put in to drain the fluid in hopes to relieve the pain. The other kidney has a humungous stone in it. I would say the size of a grapefruit!! I'm not joking either, quite large! It can't be the cause of her pain for it's on the right side and her pain is on the left side. The doctor wanted to go through her back and crush it and basically vacuum it out but mom didn't feel up to it or that she could handle something that takes a lot out of the body for she's had it done before so she knows and opted out to go to a rehab center for a few weeks in hopes to get stronger for the surgery. Before I get too far from the subject, thirdly, she has a severe kidney infection and also might be the cause of her pain. We don't know yet but both have been pretty well covered and the doctor said that if she still has pain in her left side when she returns to remove the stone then he'll take the left kidney out which should relieve the pain. I only hope that made sense for I've tried. lol It's complicated and confusing even for me. Just know she's doing alright, in pain from the pelvic fracture when moved but other than that, she's smiling. I'll tell you more tomorrow for I'm still recooperating from the busy three days. Hope all is well and good with you all!!
