Good evening my sweet friends. I just finished my first and hopefully last lyproscoptic renal nephrectomy. the waiting was far worse than the surgery. Since they had to go inside my kidney, I have to stay at the hospital 2 days. Thank you for being my support team.

    Good for you!

    Rest easy.  The worst is over and the little trouble maker is gone.  Don't forget your deep breathing exercises though.  Smile

    Your Smiling Face

    Your smiling face in your photo (although you posted it pre-surgery) says it all.  Definitely, the wait is the worst.  Buh-bye to the little interloper, hello next chapter of Life.  Woot!
