Today is the day when my good wife is going to try the Coke and Asparagus trick once again.
Some time ago Carol, my wife, became very ill with a large kidney stone blocking off one of her kidneys and almost lost her kidney. Infact she had numerous stones in both kidneys with the largest being 20mm [3/4"] in diameter so, after fourteen months of sound blasting, they had reduced them down to one stone which failed to respond. An operation was in order and arrangements were made for her to travel north to a larger hospital to have this done.
In the mean time an old friend told her about the "Drink 2 litres of coke and eat one can of asparagus over two hours" trick. Being desperate, Carol did this and a week later fronted up to the hospital for her operation. The surgeon was the same doctor who had been treating her all the time and was completely dumfounded to find that the stone was gone, he could see where it had been lodged but it had dissapeared.
Two days before we were due to go on holidays a few weeks back another kidney stone had developed and blocked off one of her kidneys once again. For a quick fix they have pushed it up into her kidney and put a stent in to allow us to have a break and untill the sound blasting treatment can be organised.
So, here's hoping, the magic coke and asparagus trick might work again, we'll see.
