Subject: 19 May 2023 by teebee on 2023/5/19 12:05:12 Morning guys...up early and headed to the "city', Dodge City. Last Friday I started experiencing pains in my belly and lower back, reminiscent of my kidney stones pain. Started drinking lots of water and OTC pain meds and things seemed to subside. Yesterday afternoon those pains came back with a vengeance. Decided to go to the ER. Ran tests, blood and UA and thought that I probablt still have one. So a CT scan was ordered and it revealed not one, but three large stones, two 3mm and one 5mm. The 5 appears stuck in the ureter. Consolted with a Urologist, (nearest one on Dodge City), and he believes that he will have to "retrieve it". So we're headed that way shortly. Luckily to deep pain went away, for a while and I've been able to sleep some. Pain level right now is at about a 0-1. When I went in yesterday, it was at 7-8. Out patient surgery is scheduled for around 10 this morning. I'll post again later. Say a prayer for me. |
