    Hi, this is his wife Carrie. He is doing pretty good. He came out of the procedure with alot of pain but they did get the tubes in both sides. Right now he's got two tubes coming out of his back. They ran them from his kidneys, through the ureters and into the bladder. They capped them on Thursday morning and he urinated on his own so they let him go home. That evening, he was having so much pain in his left side that he couldn't hardly move. I called the exchange and they said it sounds like there is some blockage (which I don't understand because I thought this whole procedure was to open up the blockage that was there) so I had to put the bag back on his left side only. This helped the pain alot but he is still having some sharp pains here and there on his left side. We are gonna call the doctor on Monday morning so I'm sure we'll be back up there again so they can figure out what's going on. I will tell him you asked about him. Thanks for thinking of him. I'm sure he'll be back on in the next day or so.
    Take care, Carrie

    Hi Carrie,

    Please tell Pat I am thinking of him. It was so nice talking to him on the phone a couple of weeks ago. I hope and pray all will turn out alright.

    Take care-

    Thank you for the update
    I too was wondering how he was doing. Sorry that he is in pain, but hoping that they will find the cause quickly and be resolved with ease.

    Please let him know that one more person in this world is thinking of him and hoping for his speedy recovery from this last procedure.
