Well, I just got home about an hour ago after three days in the hospital. Another damn kidney stone. They put in a stent between the kidney and bladder. I’ll have to go back to see the doctor this Tuesday to schedule an appointment for another surgery to remove the stone and stent. My white blood count was 22 and they were concerned the infection would spread if they tried to remove the stone now, so they’ve got me on some good antibiotics. Next stone I get, when the doctor says “let’s wait six months and reevaluate it” I’m going to insist he take steps to get rid of it immediately! Every time we identify a stone, it always tries to pass before my next appointment. I’m tired of going through this pain over and over.
