Next Steps For a Giant Kidney Stone: A Lesson in Bravery!

Well, I did one of the bravest medical things I have done- I pulled the rest of the stent for my kidney stone out. I was so frightened that something was going to happen but I feel so much better. I was able to make an appointment with urology for tomorrow to consult about next steps.

I unfortunately had to switch doctors to make it work, but I was able to get an appointment tomorrow to figure out next steps for the kidney stone which means I am able to take the bus and my power wheelchair, which is crucial right now.

I will hopefully find out tomorrow how they are going to treat the kidney stone, I’ve been told they are going to set something up to “blast” the stone apart.

I joke on a regular basis that “They are going to make a nurse out of me yet!” Pulling out the stent is a great example of this. I hope my appointment goes well tomorrow and we can move forward from this stupid kidney stone.
