Is it over yet??

Okay. So Mike had another surgery yesterday to remove the stent and remove the very last kidney stone. I thought once I heard that it was all over. But alas, this morning we ended up at the emergency room because Mike was having spasms where the stent was removed. So short and sweet my question to you all is....Is it over Yet?

Happy Mothers Day to all

Here's a little email I thought I'd share because it deserves a giggle..

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH...I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad. ''Exactly'. I replied back with a big smile on my face.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and don't let on to anyone that we are actually the lucky one's to be mothers.

Another surgery

Oh lucky Mike. He has another surgery next Wednesday. We go in to have the stent removed today only to find out they were not going to remove it. The Doctor neglected to tell me after Mike got out of surgery the first time that they were going to have to go back in because there was another kidney stone stuck on the other side and they put the stent in because it was so inflamed it was almost swollen shut. I'm a little frustrated and confused as to why we weren't informed of this right away. It makes we wonder if going back in could be some medical mistake. That would just be our luck wouldn't it?

Okay one kidney stone is out we still have 2 more to go. Everything went well yesterday. They broke up the one big stone that was stuck on the right side. On the other side where the majority of the pain is, they placed a stent. This will allow the other 2 kidney stones to pass easier. He is in a lot of pain. Urine is salt water and the big one cut him up a bit. So salt water and wounds...ouch. Also the act of urinating is also very painful especially with the stent in . He feels the need to pee frequently and often there is nothing there. With the stent the bladder thinks that it is not empty so at the end of every pee he gets a sharp pain because there is nothing there to really get rid of.
He is on a lot of pain meds...yeah for me and hopefully soon this will all be over. He goes back in on the 6th to get the stent removed. He is not looking forward to that.
