It's that time again! Please Stand By............

It's Lithotripsy time again!!!

FOUND HERE



No worries all! It's just my usual "maintenance". It's kind of like a car, if I keep up on lithos, (aka oil changes), then the pain as shown in the first photo isn't as bad!!! I think this is Litho 4 so far this year? (Heck but who's counting!!!???)
My stones are caused by a congenital condition called Medullary Sponge Kidneys.........I have stones all day every day that will NEVER go away!

    Oh my gosh, I've had the procedure twice over a two year period and you've had so many, so sorry you have to keep going through it. Healing Purrs to you!

    Cody? Now is YOUR chance to become the cat of the year. Doesn't really matter if you feel really sorry for your Mom, but pretend so, and you'll be rewarded big times, over many years to follow. Humans typically don't forget who was on their sides when they had a really bad time. ;) Tessa&Kajsa


    Mom here: Fingers crossed, and thinking of you!

    Caren, I cringe thinking what you go through- all of the time. You go through day after day living with it. I'm proud of you for your attitude and for carrying on.

      thanks so much! It's truly not that bad...I am not in pain every single day, thank goodness! Just sometimes! Summer is usually particularly bad due to the heat. xoxo

    Oh, you poor little kitty. I hope so much you have some good meds for it. I eat Urinary Care food. Maybe that helps. Purina makes it.
