Yesterday I was scheduled for surgery to blast the offending kidney stone from January. I did all the pre-op, testing, and office visits. I was scheduled at the hospital and figured out transportation. My close friend even got up early to come with me.
All was going smoothly minus having to be there hours earlier than necessary. I was brought back to the Operating room and the doctor started looking at real-time X-Rays and began calling different people over to him. I knew something was going on.
I finally just yelled out, “Is there a problem?” The doctor then came over and told me that they couldn’t find the kidney stone and he doesn’t want to blast something that is not there. He continued to take x-rays to ensure that the stone is indeed gone. Then the OR team packed me up and sent me out. No medications were given, no procedure done.
I went back to the pre-op area, got dressed, signed some forms, and was on my way home! Easiest surgery ever! Then it was time for lunch and a good nap!
