It's almost time! Surgery scheduled for Monday (Nov. 3)

So pissed off! Was scheduled for today, nov. 4th at 1:15. Ended up at the ER yesterday morning in extreme pain, lots of blood in urine. Turns out to be a kidney stone! Horrible experience. I wondered if the pre-op diet, which includes a lot of artificial sweeteners (SF pudding, SF Jello, etc), could have contributed, but Dr said more likely dehydration could have something to do with it. So, I will be re-scheduled, probably the 18th, and will get to my 10 day pre-op AGAIN! Thinking of the rest of you and wishing you a complication-free surgery!

I am soo sorry, how painful!!! And how disappointing.

Thankfully it happened the day before at least , if there is a positive in it all! That kind of pain and issue post surgery would be even worse.

Water intake is critical after surgery too. So make sure you come up with a way to monitor it. I used a small medicine shot glass I got at CVS. It had the different lines of tablespoon n teaspoon. I kept it with me and used it in the very beginning n it still was so hard to my Water in.

Good luck????????
