Who would have thought that a kidney stone only 2.5mm in size would cause such an ordeal? But Tuesday - after numerous doctors' visits and lab tests, three CT scans, two ultrasounds and one set of xrays later - I had my first-ever surgery. Although I still have more doctors' appointments and possibly another proceedure in the future, I'm hoping that life quiets down a little.
I will say that I am actually very blessed that this is all I've had to deal with thus far (knock on wood!) and am also so blessed that Joe has a fantastic insurance plan. I know that so many people have much more severe medical problems and also have to go into debt or deplete savings accounts just to get the care they need. So that is going to be what I'm thankful for this holiday season.
I also managed to finish my finals this week so I'm going to cherish some much needed quiet time for a few weeks until school starts again. I predict there's going to be some holiday baking in my near future.

Another procedure?? But I'm glad things are going better! Kidney stones are no fun.
Sorry to hear you had to have surgery. I have had two bouts with kidney stones. 2.5 cm! That's huge. You must have been in agony. Hope you heal fast and feel good for the holidays. Julie
Julie, it was mm not cm...I don't think I could have handled that!
