Had my surgery on Wednesday

I had laser destruction of a 12 mm stone with stent placement on Wednesday. I had the worst experience of my life with stents 12 years ago, and almost didn’t go through with it because of it. I was truly terrified. The doctor said I should because I had air in my kidney.

I can’t believe how well I’m doing. The pain is very manageable, and I I haven’t had any bladder spasms. There does seem go be a fair amount of blood in my urine. The only negative is that the surgical center wrote my phone number down incorrectly, and the doctor didn’t talk to my daughter afterwards. I called yesterday, but no one has called back. I was afraid they placed the stent, and that I would have to have a second procedure to destroy the stone, but I think I’m okay because I got a MyChart notification of a pathology report. I’m not kidding when I tell you I prayed to God, the Universe, and the God of the Universe, and I’m not even sure if that’s a thing.

I hope for good health and healing for everyone
