Meet my Arch Nemesis*:
Kidney Stones
As if it wasn't enough to ruin my New Years Eve party (well at least for me, it seems most of the guests still had an awesome time), the kidney stones have not made a nice little quick pain-free exit like they should have. I went to the urologist yesterday and an x-ray showed that they hadn't budged. I've only drank a zillion gallons of water since last Thursday. Hmph...
So next Monday I'm going in for surgery. They are going to laser out the stone stuck in my ureter (the tube between the kidney and bladder) and then use lithotripsy (shock waves) on the other stone still in my kidney. And you are welcome for your new knowledge about kidney stone treatment.
This is definitely not how I planned to spend the first few weeks of the new year. I'm really not sure what I had in mind but I know it wasn't this.
Darn you, kidney stones!
