Tomorrow, I have my kidneystonectomy. For this, I have to get up at 4:45, catch a bus at 5:10, to be in pre-op at 6 AM. Bleaacgh.
I expect to be home by lunch time, and since I can’t eat after midnight, I’ll be ready for it. I’m giving serious thought to bringing some provisions for the recovery room . . . . .
I’m hoping the holmium laser, scary as that sounds, is successful so I can skip the sonic lithotripsy. It will take a lot more time to do it with sound and I’m sure I’ll have some after-effects (you don’t subject the body to rock-breaking sound waves without some physical recollection).
