I saw the urologist last week and had surgery the next day! It was scary, but most of the pain is gone. However, I had an infection so he couldn't remove the stone. He put a Stent in (plastic tube) from my kidney to the bladder. It was painful to pee for a couple days.
Monday I had an office visit with him. He explained everything and said this Friday we will do another surgery to get the stone out and maybe the tube. I don't remember now. All I know if I don't really want to go through another surgery! It's not just the pain afterwards, but it triggered bad memories from a car accident in which I could have gone HOME.
