Hi Everyone
I got back home last night about 9pm. It was late
and I was tired so I apologize for not sending this out last night.
They did the surgery yesterday and were able to do
it with a epidural which was a great thing rather than a general.
Unfortunately the red card goes to the stone. They
used a telescopic probe with a lazer and followed the path from my bladder to
where my kidney use to be. They used the lazer to cut beyond that part as far as
they dared and if they had gone any further they ran the risk of hitting a major
blood vessel which would have made it into a very complex surgery.
I was able to watch the procedure and that
scallywag of a stone hid from the telescope, I am not sure who was more
disappointed, the dr or I. There are several options left and the surgeon is
taking all the films to their meeting to discuss what options are left, so they
may try keyhole or a laposcropy, the last option will be to do a major
exploratory surgery.
I really apprciated everyone's prayers, good
thoughts and positive vibes, they made the last couple of days
bearable.
Will keep everyone posted on what happens next
so.... watch this space lol
love
Loretta
