Life is something Special.....
 

Here I was saturday cracking plastic with my EF brothers, having a ballftbll$ . The next day balled up in a fetal position in the emergency room. Pain so excruciating while driving to the hospital I hoped for a Police Officer to pull me over so I could render help. The Creators plan was that I make it...so I did. Pain was so great I started sweating and was seconds from passing out. After a CT Scan and a MRI, diagnoses-kidney stone.:eek: I would'nt wish this on anyone. The most special part of it all was after the pain meds wore down and I woke up after literaly hearing myself snoring:eek: ....there was my wife and my 2 youngest babies.

Thank God I am home on 2 meds, forced to take a day off from work;) but Dr knows best. I share this to say that life is so very short and when we put things off they can come back on us 3 fold.

The irony is that I had mini pain sessions throughout the week, but I put them off as failures of my self medications(spicy foods, iced coffee therepy) until people that love me told me "when there is pain, there is a problem...go see a Dr" For the first time I listened...heck I am 38 and still think I am a practicing medical specialist:rtfl: :rtfl: . I laugh now but that pain was no joke:( . Now I must drink tons of fluids and wait for a 3cm(I believe he said that) passess. Thank God for humbling me and forcing a qick surrender or it could have grown larger, more painful, and a possible surgical procedure. My family now has me on a strict "water diet":eek: but the room service has improved tremendouslythmbsp$ ppls$ . Just sharing with my EF family how my Sunday was spent.

Peace,
Coach Karim

My Man...
 

Glad you are OK. Fun one day, pain the next. You never know. But you were brave enough to take care of yourself and now you can recover.

enjoy the room service while you got it and ask your wife to put a small 510 board on the breakfast tray so you rock some MF in bed. aaahhh, get the breakfast later.:rtfl: :rtfl:

Feel Better thmbsp$

Take Care of Yourself
 

It's easy to say but sometimes hard to follow yourself.

Good to see that you are on bed rest. Ain't no tellin' what concocted plays you would be trying to come up with!:rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

Take care Coach and hope all is well!

Reg

Good to hear you are feeling better
 

Coach,

When you first said that on Sunday you were curled in a fetal position and in pain I thought that was from our scrimmage on Saturday :)

I'm happy you are feeling better - I'll talk to you soon.

ps (that may possibly be considered my first bit of trash talking - I kind of like it):)

That kidney stone stuff is no fun.I bet your like me and never want to go through that again.They say pain is worse than giving birth.I' glad I 'm not a woman.

Very good news !!!
 

Glad your better youngfella.

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better...
 

I know the real relief will come a little later...:)

About 12 years ago I thought the pain I had was a stomach flu...laid in the fetal position all weekend.

By Monday morning (3 am) my wife was like "I am taking you to the hospital!".

I had a partial rupture of my appendix (they found out after it was removed 4 weeks later). I never felt so much pain in my entire life!

After I thought...If I was born even 50 years ealier, I would have probably died. Thank goodness for antibiotics and a higher power allowing me to stay here and have the opportunity to father 2 fantastic children!

The day to day stuff can get in the way of seeing the truth to life.

Sorry, you have to deal with this problem...but glad it made a positive difference in your life! thmbsp$

I know your pain, I had my first 20 years ago and thought I was a died man.
I want go into the full night mare of a story but they did have to go get it and you don't want that because when they are finished they have to pull that catheral out and that is a bad boy coming out . It felt like they pull it out for 10 min.
I have two more in the last two years but they are gone for now.
The Doc. told me to stop eating as much meat as I do and lay off the DR. Peppers . More water, less pain.
And it is the worstpain you can think of .I hope you ******** it out.
Good luck

Coach K
