Normal check-up

All waiting room carpets look the same. I had my normal check up scan done today. I will have some results from Dr Lee by Wednesday morning. I feel really good about how things are going. 

I guess I'm getting used to all of this because I haven't been stressed for this one. There have been a few thoughts creeping in, but mostly I'm glad to have a scan to know exactly where I am. I have been taking good care of myself and eating well and all that healthy business. My immune system is strong and it doesn't have a kidney stone to deal with anymore so I feel like we're in a good place. 

Kidney stone fireworked!!

Turns out when they put a stent in your kidney it looks like a bungee cord. Ew! The dr asked if I wanted to keep it. Ummmm... No!?

The great news is that the doctor was even surprised with how well the sound wave blasting procedure worked. There is a very small piece still hanging out in there, but its minimal. If it does decide to cruise out of there it shouldn't be a problem. 

The stent came out today and was no problem. Those "in office procedures" can be frightening, but in office means normal and easy. It was!

I have a regular CT scan on Monday and I will meet with Dr Lee next Wednesday to check on our normal stuff. I feel great and really optimistic about this scan and meeting. Everything has felt great and I have been taking good care of myself. I'm really good at summer! 

Home

There was a kink in my ureter. That's it! The dr said it blasted beautifully. I am home and in some pain, but not bad. I hear the car in the driveway that is Brent with my drugs. Good to go!! 

Baby you're a firework!

Tomorrow is kidney stone blasting day! I don't feel nervous about it at all. I actually keep forgetting that its scheduled for tomorrow. I watched the fireworks in Tillamook for the fourth and pictured my little stonehenge blasting to pieces. 

I will also wake up with a stent which I hear is super fun. "Just some discomfort" they say. Ha! We'll see how severe the discomfort is! The doc wants to check out why my ureter is not draining properly. He seems pretty confident that its kinked or is scar tissue. There is the possibility that its something else, but is unlikely. 

Cannon is a little nervous about mom being in pain. He has an amazing amount of empathy that kid. I'm sure all will be well. 

I check in early and surgery is scheduled for 730. If you happen to check the clock between 730 and 845, visualize some fireworks!!!
