Hesh,
I'm glad you are doing better. I've heard how painful that can be, I'm sorry you had to go through it.

BTW - In my day job I'm involved in the design/manufacturing of stents. It is likely that the stent (spelled with an e not i) you have is made by my company as we are the world leader. In a weird way, I'm always happy that someone I know is helped by products that I'm involved with. There have been several friends and relatives along with many famous people that have our stents. Do you know if it was a stainless steel, nickel titanium or cobalt chromium?

Hesh I'm happy to see your back home and on the way to recovery. Good time to relax and play some of your guitars while you mend.

Sooooooo glad your home Hesh, it's really the best place to recover.

I've had kidney stones and wow, they are not fun to pass. I'm glad that yours are sand, althought it will still be uncomfortable.

Get better soon my friend. Rent some good flicks and let us know about them

Cheers

Hesh, glad things are looking up for you healthwise.
I've done that 3 times. No surgery as the docs said I had to pass them "naturally". I'm sorry but there's nothing natural about shooting a barbed piece of crystal the size of a peanut out your...well...naturally.
Whoosh, still makes me shudder.
Anyway, glad you are feeling better. Best, Paul

Hesh, sorry to hear about your ailment - but - glad to hear you are on the mend. That's a major ouch.

Now would be a good time to read that Benedetto book and watch his DVD's if you've got them. I don't know if they'll help with the pain - but might help you get some sleep.

Get well soon friend!!

Glad you're doing better bro, i see that you keep a good morale and your sense of humour is all there!

Yeah, a good time to do things that should have been done, like playing your own guitars, they all sound great, ask me how i know!

Good idea on the L-OO, i'm awaiting one like this too!

Keep it up Hesh, you'll be back playing with your toys in no time at all!

Hesh Buddy:

[QUOTE]My first day at home reminded me that hospitals, at least in the US, tend to kick you out a bit to early.
[/QUOTE]
   That's a good thing buddy! The rate of nosocomial(hospital contacted) infection is a "LOT" higher than hospitals care to mention! Get out ASAP! I don't want to sound like a scaremonger/journalist but it's pretty bad!

    You might try real cranberry juice(not that Ocean Spray stuff). It works really well for dissolving them as it acidifies your urine. You can generally get good stuff at Trader Joe's or a health food store.

    You have to take care of yourself ,Bud, I'm getting tired of worrying about you two! Geesh, have some compassion!

Get Well Quick!

Thanks for that health tip Doc Billyster, i knew that cranberry juice was good for your health but now i have a good reason to buy me some in the next grocery!

So you know I looked at the picture first, and then read the text and then looked at the picture...

When I woke up I realized you where joking

My oldest son passed one a couple of months ago, not fun at all, all I could do was sit and keep him company until they applied the morphine (I tried to get some too but they weren't buying my routine!)...

Rest, get well... The guitars will there waiting and so will we..

Cheers

Huhm! CCF and cranberry juice!   

   I don't really care for the stuff! But I've heard of two cases of this, and it's also good for urinary infections.... SO!

I just thought of something isn't "The Hesh Man's" last name Breakstone? Creepy!
Believe it or Don't!

Oh! And stay away from sodas!
