Finally got a call from the urologist who read my ct scan and he told me to come directly to the hospital do not pass fucking go.
So after I hurried up, now I'm waiting in Registration. Been here a couple hours. Sounds like I have a mass on my kidney and they're gonna take it.,but the. Again I' e yet to talk to a doctor since they delivered this news on the phone. Hope it ain't growing anywhere's else!
I told my wife, at least it wasn't one of my nuts.

Man that's serious shit. Hang in there. Let us know!
Hang in there
Some bitch!/ Hang in there Barry....
Phole, I know we don't agree on a lotta sheeit, but I'm sending up a prayer for ya, whether you like it, or not.

Man, you take care of yourself. If you need a care package to help ease the pain while I'm in Colorado, just say the word.

Hang tight brotha man!!!
On 2nd thought, it's prolly just a salt spot. No worries.
I had a bowl of soup before I came up here. Good thing too. I hate to be one of 'those' people but this process sucks. Here they scare me to death with that phone call, I call my wife at work and she rushes home, we come straight down like we were told and now We're sitting in my room for almost three hours and zip zero nada zilch. I talked to my first human just a minute ago. My doc hadn't sent ANY of my info like my meds and so on. these people need some fucking leadership.Originally Posted by Chicken Dinner

It's prolly just all that rum you drank down in St. Lucia caused one of your kidneys to spring a leak.

Dang civilian hospitals! Check into the nearest VA ... they'd have you processed and prepped for the O.R. already (IF needed).
Hope it's a false alarm buddy. What did I just say a couple days ago about retirement signaling the medical problems to come forward?

Barry if you guys need anything I am a phone call away and can be there in 20 minutes.

Thanks Trav. And thanks everyone for the good thoughts.
And Muddy, we don't disagree all that much on the important stuff. Thanks for putting good word in for me!
And we still haven't talked to a doctor. And my wife just left to go home to get my daily meds because in this modern health care system they haven't received them from my PCP. And this hospital is affiliated with the clinic my doc is part of.
And my sweet wife just went Italian on them (her Mom's maiden name was Capone). Dropped a few F bombs and chewed out the entire nursing staff. They're about to find out how the cow ate the cabbage if they don't straighten up.

I'm not sure I know how to take that. I assume you don't know for sure yet, but did you mean "take" the mass? Or the kidney?Sounds like I have a mass on my kidney and they're gonna take it ...

Take the kidney is what they told me on the phone. But give. The way these people communicate they might end up boiling my prick.
Honestly, that phone conversation scared me to death. Six hours later, we spoken to nobody but a nurse that asked a bunch of questions related to admission. And that's why we're both ready to bust out of here.

Good luck Posty, let's hope it's was just a smug on the xray from some Tech having lunch.
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
Damn Posty, I'm just settling in for the day and catching up around here. I bet you and your wife are both about to go postal on the crowd.
That is scary news. Keep us posted and I'll be saying a prayer for Ya'
If you need me to bring over some vintage Carolina shine and some good red clay mud let me know.
Be thinking of you buddy!

Thanks, Larke. Means a lot.
Just talked to the doc again and he's pretty certain they'll take the kidney and they’ll do it tomorrow.
Hopefully they won't get in there and find out I'm rotten to the core. But y'all already know that.
BKB
Damn man this is serious stuff...
Somehow Julie needs to update one of us (maybe Trav or Herb) so we can know what's going on tomorrow.

She has my phone so I'll have her call as soon as we know somethng.

I know it's not my business. But, that's the kind of thing I'd want a second opinion on. Now that I've said it, I'll shut up and get out my prayer beads.

Can you at least catch the Cards in the teevee there at the hospital?
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Raoul Duke
I'm going to hear what they have to say tomorrow after my ct scan later tonight. There are two urologists, one a specialist and one a surgeon who will have read them. So I kind of have two opinions. Believe me, adter the incompetence I saw today. thought about checking myself out and going somewhere else.
they've kind of redeemed themselves tonight.
the night nurses and doc i talked to are on top of their game. The head of nursing here though is going to get an email from me when all is said and done. Coming from a service career, I can tell you they NEED to hear it.
BKB
Watching the Cards now! They're up 5-4 in the 7th against the Bucs.
We need a win!
BKB
Barry you've known me long enough to know I'm no good at knowing what to say over these kinds of things. Heck you are the one that has the gift with words around here. You aren't supposed to be the one that needs them. I'm hating all this for you, but definitely hoping everything works out for the best.
Thank ya Troy. I appreciate you my friend.
it almost sounds like I'm fishng for sympathy but to be totally honest I'm scared to death.
Y'alls' words mean a ton.
BKB
Never once entered my mind you were fishing for sympathy. I seriously doubt it entered anyone else's mind either. We went through something very similar with my wife last year so I defifinitely have empathy for your being scared right now.
Prayers on the way! You will be fine!
The great thing about kidneys is, you have two, but only need one. I'm pulling for you here buddy. I know hospitals ain't much fun. I was lucky though, 99% of my nurses were hotties and I was constantly requesting sponge baths!
Please have Julie keep us informed if you can't do it yourownfineself.
