Health Update 2.0

[writefiction]

Sooooooo! The doctor called just a few minutes ago! So glad I didn't have to wait until Thursday!

Anyway. The doctor said that it is indeed a kidney stone. It has traveled two thirds of the way to my bladder. He wants me to try the medication for a couple of weeks. He hopes that since it's so close to the end, that the medication will open the tube up enough to pass the stone.But if it doesn't, he's booking me for surgery so they can go on up and take it out themselves. So now we have a definite plan of action and I'm happy..... finally. Now I'll be counting down the days until I see a kidney stone in that pee strainer. And if I don't, I'll be counting down the days until surgery. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited. Finally this will all be over. It may take a few weeks, but now I've gotta better pain control on my side so I don't mind waiting the next two - three weeks. I probably won't be suffering like I have been so it's all good.

Now you can all do your happy dances for me. I know I am! =D

I hope the medication works so you don't have to have surgery.

I know you are so relieved to have an idea of when your pain will end! Honestly, you must be one tough cookie to make it moooonnnnthhs. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you look in your 'pee strainer' and find a present :)
