I was going to ask which stuff you mean, but if it's the one in Aesop's link. The exact same one is in the co-op . Got some last year, or maybe the year before. It was £1 in a hexagonal box. Rose and lemon . I got some, but it wasn't to my liking, kinda floury, and stuck to my teeth and kinda like a jelly. definatley not anything like the chocolate stuff they have nowadays

I think it was made in Egypt.

Oh sorry to hear that MT:o:o:o:o....(((((((((MT))))))))))))))

The only thing we can do, till their decision, is to make them drink lots and lots of water....(The max one can have)

So hopefully it will be in control or will dissolve a bit...

Take care and don't worry about the thread...:A:A

when my mum had one (or two or three), they first tried blasting it, they tried to make it break into smaller pieces so it would pass through naturally.

unfortunately, mum was overweight and the blasting didn't help to dissolve it and she had to have surgery.

so hopefully they will try to laser it first and this works. fingers crossed.

thanks IS
threads keeping me occupied

he in hospital on dia morphine at the moment but hopefully they have told him to drink loads of water


hopefully we'll have more news in morn, he's waiting to see a certain doctor by the sounds of it. but he was busy in surgery today so he has to wait.

MT (((hugs))) to you DH, he must be in a lot of pain so hopefully the morphine will take the edge off it.

thanks CW
yeh hes still in pain but not as much as before so at least thats one advantage of him being in hospital, he can get reg pain relief.
