Medical procedure tomorrow

[Jackie]

I've had 3 lithotripsies and kidney surgery to remove a stone that wouldn't break up. The Lithotripsy is a piece of cake compared to the surgery.

It will be OK. The stent is the worst part. Sometimes they do the lithotripsy without the stent. If that's the case, count your blessings.

In my case, I'm supposed to avoid spinach, kale, chocolate (arghh!).... and a few other things. I'm also supposed to drink a big glass of water with lemon first thing in the morning and sip on water throughout the day to avoid new kidney stones.

It's not fun...but lithotripsies really are not that bad. Don't worry.

Let us know how it goes though. And good luck.
