So... had the surgery. I have a stint in that needs to come out in 2 weeks. My blood-pressure is something they are all concerned about. They did laser the stone and broke it up.... Until I have to pee , the pain in my kidney seems non existent, but when I do pee, I have the pain from where they worked from (yep.. had stuff going in the out hole), and the kidney acts up. Not sure what that is about but might have something to do with the stint.
