Please keep me in your thoughts today and pray for my strength as quite frankly I am pretty scared.
The reason for my fear is that today a urologist will end my bout with what is only the second kidney stone in my life to even have me go to a doctor; and only the third time in my life to have any kind of surgical proceedure performed. The doc asked me after my first visit to him yesterday if I wanted him to take the stone out, and I said "Yes" (It's been three weeks to the day since the CT scan and diagnosis of the stone and it has moved from the ureter to the bladder causing difficulty for me).
I am not one who goes to doctors unless the problem is severe (read "I have tried everything I know of and more and can't deal with the discomfort anymore"); I admit I am a big sissy when it comes to any kind of IV needle (even blood draws) due to a couple difficult episodes when giving blood for blood tests.
Thanks all,
Dave
