I finally have an answer to why I have been passing kidney stones (7 passed and 2 taken out)
It seems I have a parathyroid tumor. It is benign but causes many problems over an extended period of time and eventually kills you! I have having a lot of different symptoms. It answers so many questions.
It looks like I will be flying out of Alaska to Florida for a surgery to have it removed. It will require a couple of days in Tampa and a short simple surgery.
If I did it up here it would be a massive surgery with my throat slit in a big u Ear to Ear almost Yikes! So Florida here I come!
In the mean time I am on a no calcium diet as my calcium is way too high. Tough to find things to eat that don't have much calcium.
Toughest part will be all the costs like hotel etc. We will get reimbursed eventually but it may take a while.
Could use all good thoughts and prayers that everything goes through quickly so that I can start getting better, and so that I can do this and get back in time for our first vacation in MANY years. I do not want to miss that!
Thanks all!

Gee, I'm sorry to hear this but I'm glad that it's "relatively" benign. I hope the surgery goes well and things take a turn for the better. Let us know when the surgery is so we can hover nearby for support!

“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
