Coach Aki Collins
Per Grant Milner:

Quote:Just got a text from Aki's wife, Ina. Coach Collins is doing fine. He is sleeping now, but has a tough recovery ahead.

Very good news that he made it through the surgery. Prayers his way, please.

From Jason Smith:

Quote:Good news: @CoachAk40's wife says he's out of recovery from surgery to remove the kidney stone and snoring - I mean, sleeping -

Good for Aki! I can't imagine what he had to go through. I'm guessing we've seen the last of him on the Memphis bench, for good.

RE: Coach Aki Collins
lemon water, aki. lay off the soda and tea, and did I say lemon water? plenty, plenty, plenty of lemon water.

unless you love cranberry juice - save it for uti's. won't do squat for preventing a stone.

.. where do I send the bill?

RE: Coach Aki Collins
citrus acid fruits such as Grapefruit are some of the bigger causes of kidney stones. My treatment was to get off Fresca (concentrated grapefruit juice ) and go back to drinking Diet Coke (mild diuretic ). No stones now in 20 years.

My kidney stone was the worst pain I'd ever felt. I almost passed out twice and was legitimately calling for Jesus.

RE: Coach Aki Collins
Survivors of stones are a special club. I had six episodes over five years. I was able to pass one but the other five had to be retrived in surgery. I have some in a test tube. Ugly little things. I was never a candidate for any alternative treatments to help pass the stones.

On the pain register it is akin to child birth but at least babies are much better finished products.

I'm 10 years stone free. Gave up drinks that are hard for the kidneys to process and increased my water intake. Proper hydration can solve a lot of health issues.

I have dealt with kidney stones and currently deal with gout flare ups. Both are very painful! I truly understand his pain and I am very sympathetic to his journey. I have never had stones large enough for surgery but have had enough stones moving in my kidneys to cause weeks worth of pain and anguish. Glad to hear coach is doing better and may he be stone free forever.
