My good friend JudgeG is a bit under the weather with kidney stone problems. I returned from Alaska yesterday to find out that he had been hospitalized earlier in the week. He had the stones zapped, blasted, or whatever they do, but is still in a lot of pain today. He is at home and I know he is checking this forum on a regular basis. Some well wishes might help him return to his usual obnoxious self.

JudgeG
sorry to hear about your problem.
The good thing is that it's not fatal.
It only feels that way.
Good luck and fast recovery

Would whiskey help?

Judge,
Look on the bright side. If large enough you can load them in your 45-70.
Sounds bad if your off the scotch, you may want to change your drinking formula .
Take care and hope you get better rather quickly. It is fortunate this didn't happen in the middle of your last hunt.

Best wishes Judge, better days and the next adventure are right around the corner!

Ernest, hope you are feeling better. I'm over in P'Cola now so we can't come over and wet-nurse you Hey! whatever happened to the Johnnie Walker Blue Label I brought over. THAT, will cure anything! jorge

JudgeG,

I know the feeling and there is no pain like a kidney stone ...but sounds like you have it whipped and a full recovery is on the horizon

The wishkey and ladies will have to wait till next week, you can then make up for lost time

I hope you have a speedy recovery and your next trip to Africa is not that far off!!!!!

Best,

Jim

Stones are painful, Judge, and I'm not kidney.

Get well soon.

Ernest,
Get off your backside and do something!

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Maybe we could each take one of the JudgeG's fine rifles out for a walk, that would ease his mind knowing his guns are well cared for and excercised. hope you get well soon.jj

Now when I had kidney stones (five different times! ), they had me drink beer to flush the kidneys. Think that would help you?

Judge, sorry to hear about the kidney stones. Been there, had that, do not want a repeat.

As they say, "These too shall pass"

Get well soon,

Hog Killer

Judge,

Take care and we are all thinking of your next trip to Africa and Dallas in January...A little more time and you will be feeling better...

Mike

Your Honor:

Here's to a speedy recovery.

Now, anyone have a phone number of a stripper-gram in Ernest's neck of the woods? Nothing like a leggy blonde with big cajungers to ease anyone's pain...

If it is big enough when it comes out, let's have a contest to name the baby.

Hope you're feeling better soon.As long as you're laid up,thank God for good reading material.PM me if there's something you want to read that you don't have.Speedy recovery.

AMEN! Judge, I'll even sign off on pre-absolution for you!

Hope you feel better soon!

friar

Actually, I have a very nice, leggy (5'9") blonde coming up from Jacksonville tomorrow to check on me.

1115, if you beg, maybe I'll bring her down to Hopewell to see you and the Mrs.. that is, if I ever quit passing bloody (literally and figuratively) "chips". In any event, I'll see you at Mass-lite first thing in the morning.

Thanks folks for giving me the kind words. As those of you who had them, it ain't fun!

JudgeG,

I hope the lithothropter did well by you, sir!

Get well soon.

jim

JudgeG,
You sound better already. Hope you get well real soon.

Anybody can get kidney stones if they hunt elephant hard in the heat and don't drink enough water, or get a wee bit dehydrated too often from the ADH suppression of Scotch Whisky.
Pappy liked morphine with his stones.

mix the morphine and the scotch and you wont care about a thing...did that once when i had the wisdom teeth pulled. dont try this at home kids judge...wishing you a back in the saddle soon

HURT don't they? Get out and walk a little, and drink, of all things, WATER!

Come on Judge, get off your but, and shoot something big to shake the chunks loose! Better days Hoss!

JudgeG
Best wishes, good luck and fast recovery

Next time you look at a roll of barbed wire, you can say to yourself "I pissed one of those, once!"..

A little recoil ought to help break those things loose, say a .500 NE or a .577.

Hope you are back on your feet soon.

Too bad it didn't happen in RSA. When my friend suffered the same, he headed home in a hurry and SAA upgraded him to business class.

Here's to your speedy recovery!

JudgeG ----- I can feel for you, I have had them, but not to the degree that you mention. Heck, I had to get friendly with my "Woodford Reserve" just thinking about it. Thanks for the excuse. Good shooting.

Is that like ordering a morphine on the rocks?

Judge,
I wish you the best as you get over this hurdle...As they say, all things shall pass... At least it's not your busy time of year in the woods.
BTW, the great friendships you and I forged last fall with the guys at the Marine Base remains a good thing. The Colonel out there and I still get together occasionally, though he's being deployed to Iraq in August where he'll be in charge of bringing all the materiel for the Marines into Iraq. He also recently got one of his small arms specialist to help me upgrade a gun I've had a while into one we should have fun blasting with next time you're over this way.
Good luck and all the best to you.

JudgeG im sorry to hear you are ill my friend ,what i recommend you its to come here and test on water buffalos and cebues your marvelous collection of heavy rifles ,recover soon jaeger all of us want to hear you again .Juan

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I am trying to get back into the swing of things myself after having lost both my father-in-law and father in the last three week's time. Get well.

Hey Judge,

If you pass a big one, save it and maybe we'll all pitch in and have it mounted in the center of an elephant hair bracelet for you!

JudgeG AKA (Ernest)

Please get yourself well as soon as possible and feel free to come over to SA and we will certainly (look after you) on that special no daily rates plains game gentlemans hunt as promised. WE will even pour your drinks for U



Get well SOON as we are all missing you big time on AR with your comments and banter

Cheers ... Peter ( languishuing downunder ) in the land of the long white cloud

Speedy recovery

Use Enough Gun,
Sorry to hear about your family's loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. It is always a difficult time when you lose a parent.

Thanks. It has been especially difficult losing both my father and my father-in-law within that three week time period. Hopefully things will be more positive in the future. Thanks for your prayers and concern. UEG

JudgeG, The first time I passed a Kidney stone I was on the fourth day of my first Saskatchewan whitetail hunt. It was 2 AM and the little cabin we were in was barely above freezing, it was -35 F outdoors. Being that I had to pee and was semi-comatose as well: I wasn't going to go past the stoop. So I pointed in a safe direction and OH MY GOD! Now I know where Roy Weatherby got his inspiration... Didn't think much of it at the time, was more interested in relative warmth and the sleeping bag. Felt really poorly the next day, and then OK something about taking your biggest ever deer which will cheer you up. Then the earth moved... I thought I was going to die, but you know that feeling. Well, I been drinking one hell of a lot more water and practically no Diet Soda since... 18 years now. Hope you chuckled. Yes it was true, So Help Me God.

Dear Ernest,
That's what you get for drinking all that scotch.
If you drank Jack Daniels like I do it desolves em!
All the Best!

Like the racoon that swallowed a brillo pad said, "This too will pass". It may not be much fun in the meantime, however. Best wishes for speedy and complete recovery.
