To begin--we got to the hospital @ 6am----
About 7'ish they started the FIRST procedure of inserting the cathera/stent?? up his U know where
This took about 45 minutes---brought back to room to come out of this sedation--- and *wowee*
Then @ 11am they took him back up---sedation again and did the
took about 1/2 hour---Now maybe each doc does things their own way but these procedures,done separately, wasnt too much
Then she will see him in 10 days---X-ray before he arrives and if she sees that there is still too much of the stone there---another blasting will be done!!!
They say it takes approximately 10 days for a completion of the squished stone to come out???? Now how did the come up with that #---maybe a stone likes to *hang* around---
So U all would be hysterical if U saw my bathroom---we have all the equipment so that he can *P* in to catch *A falling STONE*
Toooooooo funny!!!!!---
A *snap* ----for this---
I told him his by=pass surgery was a snap!!!!!
Of course I have now caught my SECOND WIND and will stick around for a few more hours----
Hope all are well
keep a smile
luv Barbara

for you and Mr Louie. Hopefully all that nasty stone will get out of there and he'll be fine. How come you have to catch the pieces...is that just to make sure they came out? Get some rest and tell Mr Louie we are all thinking of him.
Love Oma
