I have been away from the gym and FFG for a week or so now. I have a history with kidney stones, but most of them pass fairly quickly (but not easily).
This time, though, I had 5 of them at once, and in both kidneys. My urologist said she wanted to go in and get as many of them as possible. One was nearly a centimeter in length!
I have had kidney stones removed in this way before, and it is never fun. The stones were too big for standard lithotripsy, so I was put under general anesthetic and in the doctors went.
They got all but one of them so I have another visit scheduled in a couple of weeks. So for now, it is enduring the misery of the stents put in while I wait for the stone to move to a more reachable position.
Don’t get kidney stones. They sap the strength right out of you.
