Stone update

So, after spending all night in the emergency room Sat night/Sunday Morning, I had enough. The ER doc gave me the phone # to a urologist, and I called promptly at 8 a.m. to be told over and over again I'd have to wait until Wed. My Mother in law had driven up from Chickasha to take me because JP had class this afternoon. With every call to the specialist, I'd beg to be seen today. Finally they said I could come in.

They did an X-Ray that showed the big stone still in the upper part of the trip it would need to take. The ER said it was almost to the bottom, (deep breaths to not be upset)

Any way, I'm scheduled for surgery at 1 pm Tuesday. I'll be under anesthesia and they will use ultra sonic waves to break this thing up so I'll be able to get rid of it.

Please be praying for me. I've felt aweful for days, and I'm not as nice as I should be. JP feels helpless, because nothing he can do will really help. I'm glad his mom came up, she's making sure he won't have to miss class, and she was an RN before he was born. I do miss my mom though. I wish she was here, but since Mary Ann doesn't work, it really made the most sense for her to be the caretaker.

I'm a little nervous, but so excited that I may actually feel better!!

Hang in there. I am glad Mary Ann could go up there. Marilyn is sure having a hard time staying here, but she knows you will be in Mary Ann's good care. Hopefully tomorrow will bring forth good results. Love ganny
