Tick Tock

I ended up getting my CT done early. Wilford Hall actually called ME to schedule it sooner.  I actually only had to do a urogram instead of a cystogram, (THANK YOU JESUS!) which let me say, was miles more comfortable then I thought it would be.  The radiologist was nice enough to come out after the CT and give me my results right away so I wouldn't have to wait.  Turns out it's more kidney stones.  Possibly I had already passed a fragment or very small stone and that's what was causing the bleeding.  The trouble however, is that I have several more stones in my left kidney and one that is so big that when it does try to pass, it will cause a blockage of my ureter (the tube that carries urine from my kidney to my bladder).  That stone is SCARY close to the ureter already and the radiologist was completely shocked I was in no pain.  And, I'm still not.  I have a consult with a urologist in a few days so I'll get the game plan then.  I'm basically a time bomb just waiting for that stupid stone to move and when it does, it's going to be ugly.  If you've ever passed stones before, you know that pain I'm taking about.  I shudder just thinking about it. 

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts.  It means a lot!  I love you all.
