Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Oh Alana, My thoughts are with you! I really hope you can be d/c before Xmas! I've spent every holiday (plus my birthday) in the hospital, and it just isn't the same as celebrating at home. I hope the drs can solve this problem non-invasively, so there are no worries about anesthesia. Sending you positive vibes!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi All, Thank you, , for posting this, and thank you to everyone who have been sending " good vibes " whether electronic ore telepathic. ;-) Last night I was finally able to chew and swallow more than microbites, so my strength has increased by quite a lot. Also, I haven't needed pain medication since about 2:30 a.m. (it's now 11:00 a.m.) so am alert and not in need of my ventilator unless I'm sleeping or towards the end of the day. We're still waiting for the infection to get under control. My fever broke last night; then we'll decide if we're going to do kidney stone fishing or outright surgery. Thank you for you're support, everyone! Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi Folks, I was admitted to Alta Bates Hospital on Friday night with an obstruction in my right kidney. Fortunately, it isn't as painful as last time so I'm not needing much in the way of pain medication and my appetite is good. After a CT scan, an x-ray, and an ultrasound, it seems the next step is to inject dye into my kidney, better see where the kidney stones are, try to fish them out, and place a stent (narrow tube) in my ureter between my kidney and bladder to drain everything. They will only place a stent if my kidney doesn't drain on it's own. This procedure is scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:30 a.m. and doesn't require general anesthesia, which is great! I suspect it'll be uncomfortable, but the department that is doing the procedure is very good at managing pain using a sedative and some pain medications. They're the same team that puts my in my IV line. I trust them a lot and am grateful that Chuck and Beth will be there as my official bodyguards/pit bulls. :-) I'm probably getting out of the hospital Saturday or Sunday if all goes smoothly, and we expect it will. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. Chuck thinks I might be allergic to Christmas (!). Hmmm... Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
