Hubby got a water pump. HIs friend will help him in his garage today. Mechanic friend says it may be that they did not bleed the system after replacing the thermostat. In that case we can return the new water pump. We are still waiting to hear the exact bacteria that is causing his UTI. Until we know he is refusing antibiotics. Our doctor also wants to set him up with a CAT scan to look for stones. If he has stones the VA will take care of them. If necessary I will take time off to get care for him. I hope he does not have stones.

Don't they have some sort of laser/ultrasound method of breaking up the stones now?

I sure hope it's not stones too. I would be refusing the antibiotics for now too - don't need any unnecessary antibiotics.

I am puzzled by what we were told today, but that will be another post.

I have heard passing kidney stones is akin to giving birth. Do you think that is true, or did a man come up with that?

Fortunately, I have not had any kind of stones, so I am not sure. My sister had hers blasted by a laser.

Turns out there are no stones. My sister had hers blasted, then they passed more easily.

I hope you get some answers soon and that he doesn't have kidney stones. I know they're very painful.

It is going to be my next post. What he says about the urine culture did not make sense to me.

I hope you don't need the water pump and can get your money back for it. Also hope he doesn't have the stones.

While the car was torn down to drain the system,he had Sid put it, so it will not go bad in the future.
