So yesterday I went in for my third procedure to attempt to clear my kidneys of the rather large stones that have been clogging them up for more than four years now.
It hurts.
It is to be hoped that it worked this time, this being the second lithotripsy procedure performed on this same stone. The doctor told Rick that everything indicates that it broke up nicely this time. I hope so, because I'm tired of being sick all the time.
For the last four years, I've been coping with a cyclical nightmare of UTI's, pain, a general feeling of unwellness, and just being run down. I'm tired all the time, depressed half of that, and generally never want to do anything. I don't recognize myself. And I know I don't want this.
So hopefully this is the beginning of the recovery. I would hate to think all of this was for naught.
