the *STONE*

[barbaranoela]

Hiya dear peoples----
Went to see urologist---
Lou will go into the hospital---and they will do the blasting with lazer--hoping to break it into pieces----
Dr. suggestion---insert a tube into *hmmmmmmm* well U know where--
and leave it in for 10 days with the hope that this will make sawdust outta it and it will pass thru the tube----Lou's best friend *Dick* didnt like the procedure---
Dr. a little leary that if it donest break *small enuf* a piece might get stuck, and then more issues, so he feels this is the best way to go--

Wiil take about 10 days to pass this gravel---then he will go for another Xray to take a look C and if it didnt do the job --it will be done again~~~

Better than operating into the kidney!!!!

This will be done mid September!!!!

So we are home again---Lou and I decided to take a little run-away- trip but he figured if anything happened---he didnt want to be in some hospital in another state!!!!!

Life is good(so I am being told and i guess if things can be REPAIRED--it must be right)
keep a smile
luv Barbara

Keeping everything crossed for it to be successful the first go round.

Barbara,
My husband had a kidney stone several years ago and had that laser-blasting-it-to-smithereens procedure. It was successful and apparently there was a camera up there, too, as we got pictures of the event! Not to worry.
