Kidney Stone Tour Day #3

The National Park Tour ended abruptly but a new trip has started.  Lots of people have been contacting me about the progress of the stone so I thought this was the best way to update everyone at once.

In conversation with my urologist we decided it would be best to have me admitted on Friday night after we returned home and place a stent to help relieve my pain and remove the stone.

When I got to the hospital I felt great.  My pain was gone and my appetite had returned.  We decided to wait and see if the bugger would leave without any prompting.  Unfortunately when I got home the pain returned.  It wasn’t severe but it did require medication for me to sleep.

It is now Saturday morning and I am feeling good.  I spoke with the urologist and I will see him on Monday and if I am still having a problem we will put the stent in on Tuesday.

Stay tuned, I will update you in a few days.

  1. Thank you, Robert.

    I appreciate the report.

    When I was a new grad R.N. I worked in the Urology Dept. at the University of MN Hospital and Clinic.

    Good to hear you’re back home and have engaged your urologist.
