Here we go again
So today I go back to the hospital for my second kidney stone surgery, scheduled for the same time in the same hospital with the same doc performing the surgery. The same instructions I was given last week apply this week with the only exception being that I'm allowed to drink water or apple juice as late as 10:00 AM this morning. I'll wager I could have done that last week as well, but I was never told it was ok.
If you will recall, last week I went in for the initial surgery but it was not completed. The doc discovered that the passageway between my kidney and bladder was very narrow, and he couldn't easily fit his camera or laser up there witout doing damage to my insides. So he inserted a small stent, which this week has been working to widen that passageway. Now it should be possible (I dearly hope) for the doc to blast the stone into small enough bits that I can pass it out and be done with this whole thing.
See you all on the other side with details of how it went.....

Take care Green I hope they are able to do everything they need to this time.
Just hang on to those pain killers you'll probably need them after the fact too.
Good luck and I hope it all works out this time.
I didn't get to wish you well with your follow-up surgery procedure;although I did think about you today.
I do hope that everything works out for you this time. You've endured this painful ordeal long enough...it's time for it to be over so you can get on with your normal life and activities.
Good luck today, my friend and be well...>:D<
Good luck, grouchy.
Here's hoping all went well, and that you'll be pain free soon.
