'Huntress just emailed me and said the IV was out, discharge papers in hand, and her ride is on the way.
Great news.

She had (3) 6mm stones drop at the same time and lodged. WOW...I couldn't imagine...! Yeah it was bad. She had been told a couple months before that they were there. They showed up on a CT scan for another stone. They were sitting in the kidney. So we knew it was coming just didnt know when. I came home from work and she was passed out in the bathroom floor. I about had a panic attack myself.

Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement.
I am at home after a trip back to the hospital in Andalusia to retrieve my vehicle and a stop at the pharmacy to get prescriptions filled.
They took me down about 10am yesterday for the procedure and the urologist ended up having to use a laser to bust up the stone and he left a stent in the ureter (all the way from the kidney to the bladder) and it will stay in until Thursday morning when I go back to have it taken out. I spent most of yesterday with a horrible headache (which could have been a side effect of the IV antibiotic, Rocephin). While I was under general anesthesia for the procedure yesterday, I will not be when the stent comes out. The doctor said that he uses a numbing gel prior to retrieving the stent, but it still makes me nervous that I will feel more than I want to feel during the process.
I have learned a couple things during this ordeal, as well. One is that riding in an ambulance is not a very smooth ride. The second is that having an IV catheter placed in the bend of your elbow is not at all user friendly.

Take you a pain pill about 30 minutes before having the stent removed and it will make the process better. Glad to hear your doing well.
