Kidney Stone FREE!

Today marks the end of a long journal for me. For those who do not know, I found out 2 months ago I had a kidney stone the size of a peanut inside my kidney. The last few months have been full of x-rays, CT scans, and surgery. I had minor surgery at the beginning of April called Lithotripsy. This procedure consist of a shock way to break the stone up into pieces making it easier for me to pass the kidney stone. Surgery went well, in fact I did not have a lot of pain. Today I had my follow up appointment after surgery. They wanted to take another x-ray to see if I had passed all the stone. Just a side note, when you start to recognize most of the hospital staff you know you have spent way too much time at the hospital. After looking at the x-ray with the doctor, he said I am STONE FREE!!! I cannot even say how excited to hear that. I have a few things left I have to do but I am almost done. I have to wait a few weeks for them to analyze the stones and then I will know what the stone is made of and hopefully know how to prevent them in the future.
I just want to say thank you to all my friends and family who have supported me through these last few months.
