Rimrook's Emergency Surgery :(

Hey Guys, Lyssa here again,
Rimrook JUST got home form having emergency surgery to remove the Kidney stone. As you recall 3 weeks ago we rushed him to the ER and found that he had a 6mm Kidney stone. Well the condition got to the point where it got stuck in the base of the Ureter (the tube that connects the Kidney to the bladder) and was NOT moving, so the Dr told us this afternoon (around 12:30-1:00) to go to the ER Immediately and that he would have surgery this evening.

The surgery itself went VERY well but Rim is in a LOT of pain. They had to go in with camera and this apparatus to remove the stone up through his urethra. The surgery only took about 30 min. and after he was woken up we were allowed to take him home. He is NOT feeling very good tonight at all.

I have a requested if you would like to do a nice get well for him to get a nice high rez pic of a Bazooka and sign it so that when he can come to the computer again there will be a nice little get well card from you all. I KNOW how close you guys are to Rim, and he would REALLY appreciate it.

If you need to get in contact with him for any reason just leave a comment on here I will be checking this often for him. Thanks guys

~Lyssa

Like Dis?
Correct me if I'm wrong, not sure if we each did our own, or all signed one. Thought all signing one would be cooler.

EDIT:Waiting for Crollo to kill me for totally fucking up on the bazooka.

This is a bit dubious, with the bazooka and all( bazooka, kidney stone, urethra... is there somebody who smells a bit of irony here?).

Get well soon so you can start mapping happily again, Rimrook.
Commented 12 years ago2011-09-02 10:23:56 UTC Comment #41854
This is when we find out that the Rimrook we know and love was actually being controlled by a host creature, living in a vessel which the doctors thought was a kidney stone.

(Lyssa Again)
OMG Guys this is AMAZING he is going to adore this. Thank you all.

@Striker-I DO see the relation there, but it was a conversation we had in Pre op, saying he wished he could just go on Minecraft and blow shit up with a Bazooka, and it evolved from there.

@Archie-I tell ya if it WAS a creature controlling him , just be glad it is gone now, cause now all the REAL awesomeness of Rimrook can be released on the earth!

UPDATE

Rim had a VERY bad night, he is JUST not getting some sleep, the pain meds were fail. But we called the Dr at about 6 this morning to see if there was something else we could do. We did what he said and now Rim is able to rest comfortably for a little while at least. I am hoping if he feels a little better later on I can show this to him. it will SO Brighten his spirits.

Maybe someone can (once everyone signs) Render it out in 3D and make a little turn around of this. IDK I would do it myself but I am NOT adept enough @3D for this.
Thanks again guys. after the night he has had, this will REALLY make him feel better.

I DID let Rim take a peek at this earlier but due to pain drugs he is on he won't remember, so it is still mostly a surprised. it put a BIG smile on his face and made him laugh, and after the rough night he had that was perfect. I will let him come and play on the computer tomorrow sometime if he has a good enough night. You all are absolutely crazy and he will adore this. you all rock

The Bazooka is an epic triumph, srsly. I can't even express my appreciation for it in words, but maybe one day I could express it in a map or something. I'm doing better and you strange group of random internet flies made my recovery a lot quicker.

"man my mother and grandfather on mothers size both had operations to remove kidney stones, this sucks big time for I might have inherited this problem too sadly "

I don't think that can be inherited. Kidney stones are usually caused because an incorrect diet.

striker and/or stojkens: from the little i've read about the stones, the causes are not well-understood, but still thought to be possibly inherited.

If my parents had them, i would go back in time and kill them so they could not transmit this awful affliction to me potentially. solved.

Commented 12 years ago2011-09-04 19:21:24 UTC Comment #41877
all your ideas are stooped! If I was able to travel in time, i would simply go forwards a hundred years when a simple cure like a single pill digested could destroy these kidney stones, then go back in time, or maybe hang out there and bang some space chicks.
Commented 12 years ago2011-09-04 19:37:17 UTC Comment #41839
The cause is likely Hypercalciuria (high calcium in the urine), which is an inherited condition. With this condition, too much calcium is absorbed from food and excreted into the urine, where it may form calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate stones. However the plus side to this condition is denser, heavier bones throughout the entire body, and extremely low chances of getting bone diseases.

It's also possible that I was under-hydrated in general and simply did too much strenuous labor, which may have developed from my days working in a chlorine rich environment that was far too dry to begin with and not adequately drinking enough water.

The stone hasn't been analyzed yet, but its either of these causes, or perhaps both.
