    A few days ago, you said you were recovering from surgery.

    Are you up and about?

    Are you up to visitors?

    How ’bout noodniks?

    Keep us posted… we’re ready to storm the fiefdom as soon as the coast is clear!

    Thank you everyone! I noticed a weird lump on Thursday morning (a week and a half ago), and went to the doctor later that day. I had a strangulated inguinal hernia that was also incarcerated. I went straight to the hospital and had surgery that night. They originally told me I’d be home for Shabbos, but on Friday, I developed a fever and my white blood cell count was very high. I ended up staying in the hospital over Shabbos, and went home after Shabbos was over. I finally returned to work today. I’m feeling much better, I just can’t lift anything for a while. I do still have pain at times, but they gave me Vicodin for that.

    If anyone wants to storm the Feifdom, feel free! My wife and I love having guests! Be aware that we already have guests lined up for Shabbos lunch this week, so if you come then, it might be crowded!

    Glad to hear that you are back to work. Just take it easy and do remember that “no lifting” rule. The veibele shall have to carry in the groceries for a few weeks – don’t try to be a hero. It isn’t worth it. Refuah shleimah.

    Last night I was in agony. It was probably the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. My wife called Hatzalah, and I went to the emergency room. Turns out that now I have a kidney stone also.

    ” It was probably the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life.”

    Yeouch! Boy, do I feel your pain, Feif. I had a gall stone a few months ago, and for those of you who have not had a stone, its beyond belief. And if labor pains are anything near (or surpassing) the pain of a stone, whoa, do I have new respect for anyone who delivered without an epi shot.

    Either way, Fief, I hope you’re feeling better. Refuah Shelaima!

    Big refuah shleima. Take time off work. Kidney stones are as painful as childbirth so move into a post natal home (or post naval for your hernia ☺) and stay in bed doing absolutely nothing for two weeks besides posting on yeshiva world news.

    Feif and BPT, kidney stones are comparable to labor in many ways, in terms of levels of pain, so I sympathize with you greatly (especially after Feif already going through surgery). The big difference is that after labor was over, I had a beautiful baby to show for my pain.

    Feel better very fast. And the no lifting rule needs to be followed very strictly, or you will end up in trouble. After major surgery two years ago, I was not allowed to pick up my grandchildren for six months. That was absolute torture for me.

    Did the stone pass or are they going to do a procedure?

    I’ve had both, and I have to say that kidney stones can have sharp edges, while babies typically don’t. Ouch.

    Healh: neither. They sent me home with pain meds and another med that’s supposed to help it pass faster. It hasn’t passed yet, but the pain is almost completely gone.

    I used to be an ER nurse and from what I have seen, kidney stones are far more painful than labor pains. Of course, labor pains are “planned” and most women have a game plan as to how they will deal with the pain. Kidney stones come on suddenly, without warning and most people don’t have any idea of what the problem is until they reach the ER. ER staff generally know immediately what is wrong – just by the location and description of the pain. Also, most patients with kidney stones are of the male persuasion and they deal with pain much differently. I don’t mean it in a disparaging fashion, but men always want to be in control and when having an “attack”, they have absolutely no control. Having said all of the above, it has been said that the pain from kidney stones is the worst pain that humans ever experience.

    So Feif, for some reason your body appears to be angry with you. What an amazing and painful coincidence to go through two painful conditions within a one week period. Did you pass the stone? If so, and it is analyzed, they can tell you how to adjust your diet to prevent further stones from forming. Hopefully this is a one time anomaly and you will be “up and at ’em” in time at all. We all wish you a speedy return to optimum health. Shabbat Shalom.

    I didn’t feel any pain for about a week. I saw the Dr. to follow up, and he said the stone was gone – they couldn’t see it on the ultrasound. Turns out they were wrong, because on Sunday, I was back in the ER with worse pain than last time. I had surgery this morning to remove the stone, and am now recuperating from that.

    Feif un -“they couldn’t see it on the ultrasound.”

    Standard of care right now is non-contast CT -that’s why they missed it. Wrong imaging technique!

    Thank you again for the well wishes. This morning I was feeling light-headed (probably from anesthesia still in my system), and when I was walking downstairs in the morning, I lost my balance and fell down my stairs. I’m ok, just bruised up, but I really can’t seem to catch a break.

    Feif Un, please be careful. It can take a couple of days for anasthesia to completely clear your system, which is why they tell you not to drive or sign any important legal documents in this time period. Don’t use stairs on your own – even if there is a railing. Ask for assistance.

    I wish you a speedy recovery and a Refuah Shleimah. Be well and stay safe. Don’t try to be a hero – take your time recuperating.
