Archive for the ‘ Kidney Stone Pictures ’ Category

My dad’s gf has been living with him, along with her 3 yr old son. her boy isnt there all the time, but most of the time. shes a senior in college, so shes quite a bit younger than he is and she looks good! I know she loves my dad though, but her behavior indicates that she hasnt grown up yet, at 24 and having one child, she acts like shes 17. shes always out partying and drinking. I’m really not sure why a young woman that looks like her wants a man thats twice her age and has a full beard, but they seem to get along quite well and im sure the sex is amazing. his health is good, he just gets kidney stones every now and then and then has to pass them. he also suffers from BPH with his prostate and had a gallstone removed. He passes stones every year, so he’s always drinking liquids and peeing. i know that she does want to have another baby once she graduates at the end of the summer. my dad is willing to have a baby with her, even though he doesnt need anymore kids, but most men wouldnt turn her down! he thinks a baby will settle her down a bit. i guess its possible. they do love each other and i believe that she could be my stepmom at some point. there is a good picture of them kissing on her facebook with their arms around one another. a good pic!

IT IS MY SUPPORTING MESSAGE THAT WAS DELETED..

In Gaza City, a Sweden’s leading daily Aftonbladet published a report that said Israeli troops killed Palestinians and harvested their organs. The article headlined “Our sons are plundered for their organs,” said Israeli soldiers harvested the organs of Palestinians after seizing them from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The report detailed how Israeli soldiers detained young men and after they died in custody returned their bodies with organs missing. The newspaper quoted several Palestinians as saying Israeli soldiers kidnapped their sons and stole their organs.
In his article Bostrom discussed the case of Bilal Ahmed Ghanan, 19, who was accused of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers during the first intifada against the Israeli occupation. The article says Ghanan was hiding in the mountains around the West Bank city of Nablus, fearing arrest. When he came down soldiers shot Ghanan in the chest, legs and stomach, then took him to their camp on a military helicopter.
Bostrom said he witnessed Israeli soldiers return the body to his family wrapped in green hospital sheets five days later. Bilal’s chest had been cut open and organs removed.
The article also carried a photograph of a dead Palestinian man with a line of surgical stitches running the length of his torso, apparently taken after an autopsy, as well as pictures of stone-throwing youths and Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, a New York resident arrested in an FBI sting last month and charged with plotting to buy a kidney from an Israeli and sell it to an American patient for 0,000.
Bostrom based his story on testimony from Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza whom he identified only by their first names. Bostrom writes of a shortage of organs for transplant in Israel and mentions a 1992 government campaign to recruit new donors.
“At the same time that this organ campaign was going on, young Palestinian men were disappearing and being delivered back to their villages five days later at night, dead and cut open,” he writes.
“‘Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,’ relatives of Khaled from Nablus said to me, as did the mother of Ra’ed from Jenin as well as the uncles of Mahmoud and Nafez from Gaza, who all had disappeared for a few days and returned by night, dead and autopsied,” Bostrom wrote.
The story made headlines in Israel, where some commentators compared it to medieval accusations that Jews killed Christian children for their blood.
Ahmed Bilal Ghanem, from the village of Immatin in the governorate of Nablus in northern West Bank, was killed in 1992. The family said the Israeli soldiers took the body for two days and then handed it over without internal organs
.” “The Israeli Army is stealing the bodies of Palestinians killed by its soldiers, and then after one day or two, they bring the bodies back to their families without organs,” said Abu Baker.
He added that hundreds of Palestinian and Arab prisoners have disappeared in Israeli detention centers and prisons.
“This policy of hiding prisoners is surely connected to what the Swedish newspaper published,” Farwaneh said. “It’s possible that all those missing prisoners, or a large number of them, were deliberately killed so that their organs could be stolen and used illegally. The remains of these prisoners are then hidden in secret cemeteries known as the Cemeteries of Numbers.”
Farwaneh added that there was also good reason to believe that the Aftonbladet report was true because many bodies of Hezbollah gunmen that were returned by Israel were missing organs.
He added that Israeli soldiers had “executed” more than 50 Palestinian civilians after arresting them during the second intifada, which began in September 2000. “This could be related to what the Swedish newspaper reported about organ harvesting,” he said.
Farwaneh expressed deep admiration for the Swedish newspaper and the journalist who reported the allegations, Donald Bostrom, and called on the international media to follow suit and expose Israeli “atrocities and war crimes” against Palestinians

HI everybody! i m taxi driver in birmingham uk, i was on my job about 3 o clock in the morning and i had passenger on board, as soon i turned from main rd to a side rd i hit a pothole which burst my tyre and bent the allloy wheel too. i arranged another car for the passenger and changed my tyre, but it was too dark to take the photos of the pothole as a proof so i could make a claim for my damage caused by this pothole. i went home and then i felt pain in my kidney and had to go to the hospital where they told me that i got stones in my left kidney , i stayed in hospital for few hours and was sent home to come back the next day for ct scan. I drive because of lots of pain and i was admited in hospital after ct scan for possible operation , later they didnt do operation but told me to stay home and take rest. i was in pain whole week and i didnt go back to the place where this pothole was, after a week when i got there the pothole was repaired and there was evidence of the pothole and it was massive area which was repaired , but now i am asking you can i still make claim for my damages or not? i got proof of hospital admition and proof of not working for whole week. any body with any idea. thanks for your time and many thanks to all of you in advance.

I know this is the wrong section, but I wasnt getting answers any where else, so please be kind and answer if you can!

My sister in law has been in the hospital for 2 and a half months, and will be there for a while yet. She has a really rare kidney disease that gives her extreme pain, worse than kidney stones, She is on pain medication all the time. I feel so bad for her she spent her 20th birthday in the hospital. I don’t know what else we can do for her, so I’m looking for ideas.

She already has flowers, balloons, food, cards,pictures from our daughter,gift card to salon. Shes getting bored of watching tv. She has a horse and misses him a lot, but has had a few day passes and went to see him. I’m bringing her some career books for her to look at. She had plans on joining the military, but no longer can due to her disease.

What can I do for her?

we also got her a gift card to a salon
She actually asked for the career books, she has a lot of time on her hands. She had a life plan and now has to re think what she wants to do for her life. Also she can’t have a lap top in the hospital.

my dad is in his early 50’s and has been going with a 22 year old girl. shes asian american, very nice and very cute. he’s only been dating her for 6 months and not to mention that she is 4 months pregnant with his baby! they are newly engaged as well. since she’s came into the picture, he’s ignored his health as well as his other kids, well some of them! back in november, he passed a kidney stone, it was a fairly large stone to pass & they told him he was lucky that he could pass one that big. before christmas, they found out that she was pregnant, then two weeks ago, they got engaged and booked a trip to Mexico to celebrate. they left early on saturday morning, even though they almost didnt go because my dad had a kidney stone attack on friday afternoon…and ended up passing another stone. they had to be at the airport at 6am and he passed it at 4am. i know this because i was one of the two people that went to the airport to see them off. we were talking because they had an hour to blow before they boarded, so he was telling us about the stone. he said he stayed up and kept peeing and finally around 4 he passed it. does it sound like he’s rushing everything? it seems like he could care less that he’s had 2 kidney stone in less than 6 months. i know its just peeing out a hard pebble and intense pain, but couldn’t the trip have been delayed? what did he probably do with the stone?

"Superiorly in the medial segment of the left liver lobe there are two or three attenuation nonenhancing regions, which appear to be a number of tiny cycst. There are no enhancing liver nodules. There may be an additional tiny cyst in the inferior right liver lobe. There is possible layering of some minimally radiopaque gallstones in the low gallbladder neck. The wall is not thickened. There is no pericholecystic fluid. There is no gross bile duct dilation. The spleen and pancreas images are unremarkable. The adrenal glands are normal in size.The kidneys are not obstructed.There are no significant renal masses. There are no dominant renal stones. There is a peripelvic cyst on the left measuring approx 12mm. There is minimal aoritc calcification. There is no aneurysm. There are a few shotty periaortic lymph nodes in the infrarenal region. None are individually pathologic. The number has slightly increased. The bowel loops are grossly normal in appearance. The mesentary is unremarkable. The small bowel loops are normal in distribution and appearance with no signs of dilation or wall thickening. There is no ascites. There is no free air. There is a small hiatal hernia. There is mucosal thickening questioned through the GE junction. There was no discrete mass and EGD study is suggested to exclude malignancy here. The lung bases are clear with no infiltratesor effusions. There appears to be wall thickening of the terminal ileal loop, as it inserts into the cecum. The wall here is somewhat succulent. The mucosal folds are featureless.This is probably a terminal ileitis. There is no fluid or inflammation surrounding soft tissues. Prostate gland is enlarged, however, there is no discrete dominant mass.

on tuesday, i went to the hospital with my dad to see his new daughter he had with this girl. my dad is 53 and he had a baby with a 21 yr old. he told me before when he was seeing her that she was an intern at his work. it sounds like they fooled around a bit and she got pregnant. i have no idea why a hot blonde like herself would have any interest in my dad. im not trying to be mean or anything, but the full beard with grey in it, the glasses and stuff, i dont see the connection there except her wanting something like a job when shes done with college or whatever. when we got there, we went up to the maternity ward. she was holding the baby, her younger brother, mom and aunt were there. apparently she had just had the baby that morning. my dad held the baby and i did too. pictures were taken and whatnot. my dad was telling her mom and aunt about the kidney stone that he had just had that weekend. they joked about some pain comparisions to childbirth. my dad has passed them before so he’s no stranger to pain. he did tell them that he had a strange vision of Melissa going into labor as he was passing his stone. one of things that bothered about this whole thing is now my dad is dating a different woman, she wasnt there of course, but she knows about melissa and him having a baby. she came into the picture after melissa so there was no cheating or anything like that. but when she was holding the baby when we got there, my dad went over to her put his arm around her, they looked like this happy couple that just had a baby and he kissed her and she kissed back. why is he kissing her? they are no longer together. i know she just had his baby, but he is with a different woman. isnt this wrong? believe me i would kiss her too, shes that hot! maybe i am a bit jealous, idk. after we left, my dad told me that even though what he did by having a kid with her for no real reason was not neccessarily a good thing, but if you’re older and you can get a young blonde like that, enjoy it!

I’m 15 years old and relatively healthy, but for almost a year now, I’ve been experiencing severe abdominal pain. I’ve seen several doctors and have been treated for several conditions including: lactose intolerance, IBS, acid reflex, stress induced GI tract problems, diabetes, and more. My current gastroenterologist also thinks I have IBS, which I’ve been treated for before with over the counter drugs and no success. Now I’m on a low dosage of anti-depressants to relax my intestines more. So far, the pills have not worked significantly. The next step is a colonoscopy. I’ve already gotten an ultrasound, and I have a major concern. There was a white spot on my kidney, which could be a kidney stone but the radiologist said that there is usually a distinct shadowing around a kidney stone, which was not present in the image. However, they brushed it off as a normal "fatty deposit". This upset me because the pain is usually 90% of the time in the area of my right kidney, the lower right side of my back. The radiologist had me sit up and cough several times to make the urine run from the kidney to the bladder. The left kidney functioned properly right away. However, the right kidney took several attempts to finally work. This concerns me a lot, but the doctors still don’t know what’s wrong with me. Can anyone help?

im 24, fresh out of college w/ an engineering degree. I have a good job setup. Now i’ve had several gf’s in my days, but the longest relationship i’ve ever been in was 6 months long. Earlier in this spring semester I started hanging around with a woman who is 36. she is separated & has 3 kids (9, 7, 4). she teaches elementary school, grade 3. She has a pretty face & i guess the typical body of a mother of 3! I like her, think she is attractive, but i am partial to moms. Also around February I started to get kidney stone problems back. I had passed one 2 yrs ago & passed 3 since february. w/ Tammy’s husband still somewhat in the picture, I wanted to have sex w/ her, but didnt, but we ended up doing it a few times in the last month. We’re not in a serious relationship, but now she is pregnant & says its mine. said she hasnt been w/ her soon to be ex-husband for months. i figured an woman of her age would take more precautions. she said i do know what childbirth is like, so that will help

What could be the cause behind Tsunami?

(A laconic elucidation from Bible)

Millions of people lost courage on December 26th, 2004. The entire mankind was horrified on the deep effect of Tsunami, which traumatized the whole world. It has become a burning issue discussed by the nations of the world. The death toll reached millions due to the effect. The same Tsunami hit the mankind 40 years ago and wiped out 35 thousand people. Though man is on his scientific and hi-tech journey, all his evaluations were unable to save the affected. Nations, government personnel and scientists are to be pitied for not guesstimating the sudden disaster. Though they have their scientific elucidation there is still more to be evaluated for the question, why they are engulfing the mankind? As a Bible literate I would like to give an apt answer for the above question, which is to be meticulously scrutinized because, though these intellectuals have eyes, ears and brains they are unable to delve into the strong reasons behind these calamities. Acts 13: 40-41 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: "’Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’" If man stops looking at Bible with a religious glance and endeavors to understand the concepts in it he may be on the better way. Because of this serious situation among the mankind, to prove the authenticity of Bible I roar and throw my challenge at every intellect of the world to condemn my concepts in an open debate. But till this day none have dared to come before Bible but keeping themselves in a mummy and dummy stage. Man is very much worried about his future and is taking too much of precautions to save himself but alas! he is in vain. Though every city holds a fire fighters troop they can only arrive after the disaster and water the entire house and to fell down the burned walls. Dear reader if you are a caring person for you and your world then go through the entire topic, which gives you a clear truth regarding all these disaster targeting mankind.

Today science is unaware of the precincts of the universe. Speaking about universe the Bible, creator of world says, “ Circle of Universe ”. It takes many more years for the modern science to know that the whole Universe is in a form of a sphere. From second century onwards Ptolemy and many more scientists explained the Geocentric Theory, which was set at naught by many modern scientists. For people like these I would like to give them a tit-for-tat treatment. Human body posses many internal organs among those Brain, Heart and Kidneys play a vital role in keeping man alive. If any of these organs are infected then such person may die of brain and heart attacks if neglected which ultimately results in death. It is to be understood that those organs are not centralized in one’s body and though they exist in various places of human body, their failure may lead the entire body to death. For this the organs are not literally needed to be located in the center of one’s body. In the same manner the whole universe is based on the environment of Earth. If anything worse happens to Earth that might destruct the entire universe. For these situations Earth may not practically be in the center of the universe. Damage to earth may damage the whole universe because the earth is the core for the entire creation. This theory was taught in Bible thousands of years ago before Christ.

Amos 9:6 he who builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land- the LORD is his name.
Job 38:33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up [God's] dominion over the earth?
The above words justify the geocentric theory in judging the Earth as the key and foundation to the universe. Man living on this centralized Earth is to care for the creator and to lead his life in a safe way, which should not spoil the creation. Modern Science is cautioning many scientists and countries not to spoil the soil and environment. Man with his corrupted ideas is corrupting the system and the cycle of the environment. If any person is infected with fever he will not show interest in eating, drinking and pleasure living. In the same way the effected environment is infected with man’s explorations and is changing its path in giving a pleasant life to man. Man’s lust for new experiments made the environment to heat up resulting in the damage to the Ozone layer near Antarctic causing diseases to mankind. Due to the ultra violet rays streaming down directly towards the snow in those poles the ice is gradually melting causing the raise in the sea level which in turn causing floods and major disasters. In the year 2002 the glacier naming ‘Laurence B’ has melted and started to move towards the Antarctic Ocean. According to the analysis and satellite study the temperature on Earth is gradually increasing every year growing the sea level on earth. Due to the rise in temperature in 1995 and 2002 in Antarctica region many glaciers melted away. ‘Global warming’ is the word which we hear often these days. Man instead of knowing the reason behind his birth is analyzing the universe causing the Earth to warm up with his hectic experiments. If the entire universe is centralized on Earth then for whom the Earth is centralized? I have already given the answer for this question in my previous writing. “Is Man the Core of the Universe?” The entire creation including the Earth is made purely for Man because he is the image of God. The world exists today only for the sake of Man. Without man there is no universe, but man today has forgotten his Heavenly Father, the creator who created everything for the pleasure of his life. What punishment should be imposed on such people? Man has to inhabit the whole Earth and to utilize the fruits of it. He is to inhabit the whole earth according to the will of God. He has every right to delight himself out of its fruits. If man commits a mistake the law punishes him. If the law itself commits crime, then who will judge the law? God, after creating the creation made man and handed over him to the creation to feed His son what all he needs. If man himself departs God then whom would God order to punish him? After the effect of Tsunami modern science is taking only few precautions to save mankind but it cannot stop tsunami from appearing once again. This is a bare fact. Man has to change his way of life after such disasters but not new experiments to stop that. Heb 3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?

Thousands and thousands of dead bodies flocked the cities and shores. All the dead bodies were cremated at once. The uproar reached the pinnacle. Many were buried in the sand itself Thailand and Malaysia are the most effected. Man cannot control the nature until he captures the heart of God.

Jer 23:19-20 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.
On Christmas Eve, 24th December when many are in busy celebrations disaster suddenly struck them. This disaster shook the countries like India, Srilanka. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore etc. The disaster occurred in the sea, if this had occurred on land the death toll would have been much more. Jer 30:23-24 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart.In days to come you will understand this. Recently news was heard on television that parents had murdered their own son and surrendered to police. The statement given by them was “ We want to make many to live happily by murdering our son for his behavior.” What does God do on looking today’s generation? Every human being is indulged in pleasure seeking life but no one is caring to know the will and mind of God. If man rebels on God then He may order the nature to bury him with fury. Luke 19:42-44 and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you." If man transforms his mind and deeds then God may also change his mind from punishing the mankind. In the beginning due to the disobedience of man towards God, He cursed the nature. The curse on man affected the nature. Gen 3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’ "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. If man disobeys God nature rebels against him.

Jer 5:21-25 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear: Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD. "Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it. But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the LORD our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’ Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good.
Man is surrounded by 3/4th of water. All the boundaries are not of cement but only sand. God made boundaries to 1/4th land with sand so that sea may not cross its boundary set forth by God. He ordered the sand to save his children from the water but not to engulf them. But today the sea has crossed its boundary and penetrated dry land to cover them with water partially. It is not a big deal for the 3/4th of water to cover the entire human and submerge them in sea if God permits. The nature obeys the word of God and acts as a protector but if he disobeys God it becomes a destroyer. Man is not caring for God but is high on heels denying God. If man refuses to comply then what does God do?

Amos 5:8-9 (he who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land- the LORD is his name- he flashes destruction on the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin),
Ps 104:7-9But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.
Job 26:12 By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
Isa 51:15 For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar–the LORD Almighty is his name.
Jer 31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar–the LORD Almighty is his name:
By all the above verses it is very clear that God rebukes His children with nature when they disobey. If nature rebels on man where can he run and hide himself? Though he is more technologically advanced he cannot save himself from the ferocity of nature. Once God destroyed the whole world with water on seeing the wickedness of man and grieved in His heart. He wiped away the entire human race saving only 8 out of them.

Gen 6:5, 17 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

Acts 7:4 "So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.

2 Peter 2:5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;

God pays for the wickedness of man with a disciplinary action. Without knowing the exact cause for the calamity science is under experimentation to know the reason of disaster. Man instead of estimating these disasters as wrath of God is adjusting himself as natural calamities. With his minimal knowledge man is explaining Tsunami as the tuning of tectonic plates but never searches himself whether he is in tune with God or not. Volcanic eruptions, floods, earthquakes are defined as natural calamities by man but not as the wrath of God on all His disobedient children. All the learned and unlearned has to accept these words. Now I would like to bring to your notice the marveling word of God unveiling the secrets of universe. Read these words with the eyes of understanding and be enlightened to experience the riches and abundance of the word of God. Now-a-days majority of population in the Christian world have not yet enlightened their minds to know these facts but are confined to the four walls of the church worshipping their lord for an hour or two once in a week. They may not know the worth of truth even if we offer Bible classes at a free of charge.

A Bible intellect can evaluate the exact reason for every catastrophe trouncing mankind from the birth of universe. For every disease in a human body these would be a strong reason behind it, in the same way there also might be a strong reason behind for the destruction of Tsunami. To know the exact reason we have to research on the changes that occur in the nature. If a body is infected with a disease, doctor force the patient to undergo many testes to give him the correct cure. The same procedure has to be considered for the universe to know the reason for the calamity. This Biblical explanation in finding the reason for the calamities is to be studied by all the nations, their personnel, scientists and the intellectual society. To protect our only Earth from such catastrophes, seminars are to be conducted by the Bible scholars, which are to be attended by all the intelligentsia of the world. If this does not happen the entire universe may explode to ashes. Today’s modern man is very relaxed that though the earth may explode he is preparing to live on Moon or Mars purchasing flats over there. All such crazy people have to note an important point i.e., as the earth baring the government of the entire universe, if blown up, collapses the entire universe. We all know about diabetic patients. If that disease strikes at toe, it must be removed and if neglected it passes to leg, but if it enters the body then no medicine can save such person. The same way if the earth is infected and destroyed then it might be a danger to the entire universe. So, at present the earth being infected has to be treated carefully. Luke 21:25-26 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

Ps 18:7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.

Judg 5:4 "O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.

Isa 13:13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.

By all of the above verses it is very clear that the entire universe is interconnected. Any happenings on earth may influence the powers in the universe. Any actions in universe may ultimately affect the earth. When there are signs in Sun, Moon and Stars then the nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of sea occurs on earth. There is an unseen interaction between the earth and sun, sun and stars, stars and galaxies and galaxies and universe. If the world realizes and comes to the Bible after the Tsunami then they may find a way to shun such disasters. The earthly knowledge has to get down few steps and prostrate before the heavenly knowledge to save the world and all the human beings. Please go through few of the Bible references.

Amos 9:6 he who builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land- the LORD is his name.
Job 38:33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up [God's] dominion over the earth?

Ps 148:1-6 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.

Jer 31:35, 37 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar–the LORD Almighty is his name: 37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.

The unseen forces between the earth and the universe govern the entire creation. Every defect on earth is only the result of man. Since man being the core of the entire universe for its creation is also liable for its destruction. Every wrong step of man is affecting the earth and the forces within. Every country in the world upholds navy, military and air force to protect them. In the same way the whole universe is governed and protected by various invisible forces within it. Without proper government no society could be run properly. Atheists among the world have to carefully note down this point that no train, bus or aeroplane can run by itself unless the crew drives it. The entire universe cannot run by itself so there is an unseen power, which drives the whole world. To see that power their eyes of brain have to be enlightened by the word of God. Eph 1:17-20 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. Man with his half-baked knowledge is rejecting the existence of the Almighty. The reason for this is 2 Cor 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. It is all nothing but blowing a trumpet before a deaf person. Now let us study the various unseen forces within the universe.

Sun: – It takes 25 days, 9 hours and 7 minutes for the sun to take one rotation. It revolves around the Milky Way galaxy with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The calculation for the sun to take a revolution in its orbit is estimated as 0.25 billion years, which is called as a cosmic year.

Planets

Mercury: – It takes 58 days, 15 hours, 30 minutes and 34 seconds for one rotation. It revolves around the sun 88 days with a speed of 1 lack 76 thousand kilometers per hour.
Venus: – For a rotation it takes 243 hours, 14 minutes and 225 days for a revolution.
Earth: – For a rotation 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4,091 seconds (1 day) and 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.51 seconds (1 year) for a revolution.
Mars: – For a rotation it takes 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.633 seconds and 687 days for a revolution.
Jupiter: – For a rotation it takes 9 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds and 4332.62 days for a revolution.
Saturn: – For a rotation it takes 10 hours, 14 minutes and 10759.06 days for a revolution.
Uranus: – For a rotation it takes 16 hours, 10 minutes and 30707.79 days for a revolution.
Neptune: – For a rotation it takes 18 hours 26 minutes and 60199.63 days for a revolution.
Pluto: – For a rotation it takes 6 days, 9 hours and 18 minutes and 248.54 years for a revolution

When we look at the pace of visible and invisible matter starting from planets to galaxies they all are running in their orbits and are governed by the super natural power. Vehicles driven by man are always delayed whereas the planetary and the starry hosts of the universe are never late and are accurate in their arrivals and departures. Lazy man has to know all these rotations and revolutions to know the power of Almighty who safeguards His beloved ones. All the starry hosts are run not by the power of man but by the supremacy of God. Man is interested to know the news and happenings all around the world daily in the morning but never reads Bible to know the hidden secrets of the universe. This topic must be eye opener to all such blind people. Heb 6:5-8 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. Even the believers are searching Christ and God only for their carnal pleasures but never estimate the power of Christ in proving His existence.

Col 1:15-17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

1 Peter 3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand-with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

Rom 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Cor 15:24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

Eph 1:20-21 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Christ is invincible in controlling the power existing in the universe. By His lordship the entire creation is bound and governed by His laws. If such all-powerful Christ is denied then a catastrophe may hit the mankind to know his fury.

What are these Powers? : -

Within no time the disaster struck the people creating chaos all around the effected cities. Geographical boundaries of areas have been changed. Dec 26th 2004 has become a tragic day in the history of mankind. Thousands and thousands have lost their lives. The Tsunami left its trails after its effect.

1. Two huge icebergs hit one another causing harm to Penguins.

2. North pole moved towards east Siberia to a distance of 2.5 cms.

3. The earths pace in rotation caused delay in speed up to 2.68 microseconds.

4. The effect of Tsunami caused vibrations for few weeks extending 20 – 30 cms.

5. The Tsunami changed the Geographical outlook of Asian continent permanently. Few islands have moved nearly 20 meters.

The changes in heavenly bodies cause the Earth to change its outlook. The above examples are few of them. Though man is hit by such disaster he never tends to change his heart towards God but still take pleasure in denying the laws of God.

Rom 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Rev 6:14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Bible explained the reasons for such halaucosts, which engulf man. But man never turns his heart towards God and pleads to save him from such situations. He never corrects his way and pleases God to show love towards him. Man instead of correcting is preparing future plans to save himself from Mega Tsunami. Until he changes his mind Metropolitan cities will be transformed into forests and graveyards. I warn these people in advance to bow down before the Lord to be shown grace and mercy because He is the only protector and annihilator. Our heavenly Father is feeding every man with those powers and if rebelled He orders the same forces to destroy him.

Isa 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

Isa 14:16-17 Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: "Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?"

Joel 2:3 Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the Garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste- nothing escapes them.

My 7 year-old cat weighs 16.4lbs. He is on a diet of Urinary-Tract formula only, he had to have an operation because of kidney stones. He has to eat urinary-tract formula so he does not get kidney infections. He is also a strictly inside cat. I have tried hiding the treats from my parents (they feed him way to many), but I think he has just started eating more food to compensate for this. Any ideas on how to make him loose weight.

Picture of him: http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb149/Grimmjow1993/DSCF7397.jpg
Thanks for the info, One problem he will almost never eat wet food, so how can I get him to like it.

I had a ct scan 2 weeks ago, which found 2mm kidney stone. This is a picture of a followup ultrasound. They told me my kidney was fine no stone found, but I had not ever peed out the stone? could someone tell me if they see a stone in the picture? It was in the lower kidney a few weeks ago. I thought a "rainbow" of colors on ultrasound was a stone?
also, still having the same left flank pain radiating to back. that is why I wanna make sure they didnt make a mistake reading this.

When your rooster cries at the break of dusk
You better lie low till the crack of doom
Your first breath in, the clock starts ticking
When the world falls apart, you know something’s missing
When the people rule the media, each man to his own
The fate of your life will be in another’s hands
When the black ships crash against the kidney stones
And the pain of the earth is a hideous moan
You know you’re havin’
Another bloody rapture

I’ve been seeing a urologist/gynecologist for the past 8 months for pelvic pain and bladder problems. I was peeing constantly, up to 50 times a day, with pelvic pain and pressure. I had to quit my job, quit school, and was a prisoner in my own home. During the 8 months of my care, I saw no improvement in my symptoms.

This doctor kept me on Valium, 2mg four times a day the entire duration of my care, along with Ambien to help me sleep. My new, current doctor said taking this medication is way over the recommended length of time, and created the possibility for addiction. I also told the doctor several times that the medication did nothing to relieve my symptoms, and that I was becoming very tolerant to it. He did nothing but tell me to continue to take it as directed, forcing me in a situation where I had to self-medicate in unhealthy ways to make it through a day of peeing several times a day.

He prescribed pelvic floor muscle therapy, where a probe electrically stimulated the muscles inside my pelvis to fatigue them and therefore stop the "muscle spasms" that he said was the main contributor to my illness. 6 sessions were performed, and my symptoms did not get any better, but continued to worsen. I also informed him that this therapy was not effective, but he continued to say that it would work "eventually."

No diagnostic imaging took place without me having to vehemently request it. Cysts were found on my kidney, stones were found lining the insides of my kidneys, two cysts were located on either side of my urethra, and a bladder diverticulum was also noted. He said none of these had anything to do with my symptoms.

I decided that after several tests and procedures that failed, I wanted to be invasive and do a laproscopy. (I’m sorry if that is misspelled). I explained that I had suspicions of endomitriosis since my symptoms occurred primarily around my menstrual cycle. I also wanted another cystoscopy of the bladder done since the doctor who performed it last diagnosed it incorrectly. He said the last thing he wanted to do was be invasive, and that I should just continue my regimen and therapy. He also said that it was unnecessary to check for endomitriosis because I was not trying to have a baby any time soon. He said to stay on a continual dosage of birth control and my Valium. At this point, he decided to supplement the Valium with Elavil. When the time came for me to try and conceive, and failed over a year’s worth of time, then, he said, he would check for endomitriosis.

I also said that there was a procedure I read about called Intrastim, which is an implant that could be used to regulate the overactive nerve firings to and from the bladder to stop the intense urge to urinate. He said this is rarely done, and only in its experimental stage in Europe. We later found out from my current doctor that it has been used in the U.S. for several years, and is a very common procedure for patients with my particular illness.

My primary care physician said to get a second opinion. Within 5 days, I was scheduled for surgery. They found endomitriosis all over the top of my bladder, unnecessary tissue developing that was pushing my organs together that obstructed my fallopian tubes and ovarian function, and a mild case of interstitial cystitis. Had this procedure never been performed, I could have possibly never been able to have children. Here I am, in recovery, and I’ve never felt better.

I am very bitter, and very angry at how much of my life was wasted because of the run around this doctor gave me. I feel that I was treated completely unethically, considering it took one doctor 5 days to figure out what was wrong with me, and the other 8 months with STILL no consistent diagnosis when I left.

Based upon the above facts, do I have sufficient evidence to sue for malpractice?

Thank you all for reading this lengthy question. I appreciate your answers.
I did do the research. The only way I got anything out of him was my own research. I failed to mention this was doctor #8, after other doctors had failed in the same way. So saying that it’s my fault because I didn’t do the research, or try other doctors, is unwarranted.
