    Thank you Helen!

    Thank you Helen!

    i can tell the difference already not having a stent.  And yes I don't think the mass is going anywhere.   I am not going to worry about it.  It is what it is.  I have so much scarring in there that I don't even think they can remove it.  My first doctor believed that my severe scarring probably kept stuff from spreading.   I am fine with that!

    just got my Folet catheter out.   resting and waiting to pee.  Lol.  

    I hope all is well with you.  My best to you

    Thanks Jeanette:

    How sweet of you to say that!   Yes.  No more surgeries!   

    I just have to remind my self to take baby steps.   It is a 4-6 week recovery and I don't want to get discouraged because I get tired!

    I can tell you though after having that stent in for 16 months, it is such a great relief NOT to have that feeling in me!   There is definitely a big difference.

    Now to let the incisions heal both inside and outside.

    My best to you!

    Who Knew?

    That pee could be such a beautiful thing?!

    So glad things are flowing as expected! You certainly deserve a break!

    thanks Cindi and Suzanne!

    My follow up is next week.   It is such a pleasure not to have a ureter stent in any more!  And also to have the Foley catheter out!   

    My best to you both!

    I'm wishing really hard for you to have the best outcome and an easy quick recovery from your surgery.  If wishes could heal, it looks like there's a lot of ladies that wish just that for you.  Peaceful sleep tonight.  Nancy

    Kathy - Sorry you had to go

    Kathy - Sorry you had to go thru the abdominal surgery, but hopeful you will get physical and emotional relief from this. Will be sending all the positive thoughts I have to you for a good report. 

    Thanks Pam:
    I can't tell you

    Thanks Pam:

    I can't tell you what a difference this makes.  I know I am still sore and I have stitches both inside and outside, but there is defintely a difference of not having a stent in and having a ureter that is working properly.

    Thanks for the positive thoughts!

    Cathy:

    Thanks for the warm hug!   I surely felt it!    Doing so much better today.  Got the Foley out yesterday and it made such a difference.   I am only on Tylenol now.   But still have to take it easy for several more weeks.

    Hi Chris:
    Yes, just in time

    Hi Chris:

    Yes, just in time for the holidays.   No more stent replacement surgeries!  Yippee!   I had that stent in for 18 months and it sure feels great without it!   There is definitely a big difference.
