How did that go?
Just got home from the urologist and Xrays...looks like my current situation may result that procedure to remove an 11MM (if it were a 10MM stone the whole hospital would have been destroyed Big Grin) sometimes around the first part of August (hospital will not do lithotripsy while I'm on any anticoagulant, aspirin included (neurologist is balking on my being off) I've heard horror stories from friends...especially about the removal of the stent, which I will have afterwards Frown)...whatever is done to me when I'm knocked out really doesn't bother me...it's the "awake" part that concerns me (if I die while I'm under...just split up my shit amongst yourselves Big Grin...I won't care).


The procedure was easy for me as I was under General Anesthesia. However the pain with urination afterwards will take you by surprise the first few times. Luckily they didn't need to leave a stent in postprocedure.
