Relief

• Outpatient surgery at Big Barnes to place a stent in my left ureter

When I woke up after surgery, I immediately felt relief from the pain that I'd been feeling, a good sign that the surgery went well and/or that I was well medicated. Dr. D was able to place the stent and assuming I don't have any problems with it, I'll see her again in a few months to have it removed and replaced. I did get a handful of new prescriptions to take home with me and that felt a little overwhelming. Dr. D took a sample from near the kink to culture to make sure that there is not an infection, but one of the prescriptions is a precautionary antibiotic just in case. Now it's just about recovering and waiting to meet with Dr. T on Tuesday to talk about what is next.
