Well guys i'm back and I survived...my BP and heart rate was up because I was so nervous but it really wasn't too bad.
They gave me IV fluids to keep me hydrated as you're not supposed to eat 6 hours before surgery, then right before, happy meds which took some time to kick in...then the anesthesiologist tricked me...she goes "What's 99-72?" so I'm pondering it...then all of a sudden, I'm being awoken someone taking my blood pressure, I had blacked out, an hour passed and I was done!
The bad news is, my stone was too big to remove in one shot, so they left a stent inside me to relieve the pressure in my ureter. I could still pass the stone with the stent widening the aperture but in 2 weeks, going back in for a shorter surgery to have it removed.
The anesthesia was so strong that I couldn't stay awake most of last night when I got home but today, I haven't even taken pain meds, I feel great...just awkward there is something inside my ureter that's temporary.
Thanks for all the GL wishes and support!
