I just got out of the hospital yesterday with a kidney stone problem. I had to have a stint put in and tomorrow I have to go back and have the stone busted up with a lazer and extracted. I'm nervous because I have to be awake though the surgery because I'm pregnant. To put the stint in I was also awake. They give me statol (not sure how to spell that) and something similar to an epidural. I have been in pain all day with the stint, kidney pain and stressed out about the stone extraction. I'm so ready for this to be over!
