Initial
Well I’ve now learned what having a kidney stone feels like. I cannot say that I
ever really wanted to know. Saturday morning Sep 22nd I woke at 3 am with
abdominal Pain and nausea. After trying to live through it till Sunday Morning,
when I checked into the ER. Had a CT and Blood work. The CT showed a 10mm Stone.
YAY!? I was Wheeled up to surgery where they put in a stint. Why the Sonic
popping thing wasn’t done was, as explained to me, that it was an elective
surgery and there was a line. So Due to that and the ,unknown to me at the time,
seriousness of this issue. When one cannot pass the stone one could die from
pressure build up in the kidney. Anyway the Stint is keeping the path from
kidney to bladder open for now.. Monday I will see a Chicago area doctor and get
it address further. Removal or disbursement at least.
