So sad. I had a pt mini with me for my drive to work filled with strawberry shortcake. The coil in its old I think and decided to start tasting burny. Boo. So now I gotta wait until the morning to vape it.

That's a bummer.....

Too late now but I always have a back-up coil with my take to work gear...

I am really bummed now. Thug juice is out of stock. :( so I had to buy black ice I hope it can fill my thug love place till the real thing comes back in stock. On a good not I am gonna try candy corn, Jamaican rum, Johnny chimpo and white ice. I really wanted to try white out but also o.o.s. I guess next order with EXTRA amounts of thug. I didn't expect to vape that much in such a short time.

oh sorry dusty, just scrolled back a page and saw you have gall stones, not kidney stones. yes they will take your gall bladder out, but i think they do it outpatient now and it involves a very small incision. :) you will be fine.

I had my gall bladder out last October and they kept me in for 3 days. I guess I lost a lot of blood.

Teeny incisions, though, and pretty quick recovery time.

Good lord, Mowgli, you are a freaking SAINT! I did win!!! Holy crap, I'm kinda ... yeah, I don't win things very often, especially not expensive stuff. I won a 16lb turkey once in a raffle when I was a kid. Yeah. This beats that. Standing around waiting for my mom to pick me up, downtown, frozen freaking corpse in hand. Yeah, the 134 beats that.

Good day.

so what's a 134?

i think they can do it ultrasonically. they break them up into tiny pieces and they pass. no operation necessary. at least i hope i am right.

Depends how big they are, which is probably the reason for the runaround. For the record, with as many attacks as Dusty's had, most docs I know would say "forget it" and just remove it laproscopically at this point (i.e. with a camera and very long handled tools... total of three tiny scars that heal in about a week). So I'm not in any way *condoning* the runaround, but that's probably why they're doing it... to decide between ultrasound (cheaper and less invasive) vs. the laproscopy (more invasive, more expensive, but a permanent and immediate solution). Hope you get it sorted soon, Dusty!

(I am not a doctor, btw, just a long time medical geek who has guided/taken care of every single family member I have through the gallstones thing... I'm the only one left who still has my gallbladder, and I suspect mine'll be gone in a year or two, since I've had previews of coming attractions, so to speak.)
