The light at the end of the tunnel (and hopefully it's not an oncoming train!)

I had surgery this morning to remove the offending kidney stone. Surgery took a couple of hours and thankfully, I was under general anesthesia, so I didn't feel anything. There was a slight delay while they checked my labs to sure I didn't still have any infection. I only had to be stuck with the needle twice, which was stressful considering all the times the lab tech couldn't get a vein when I was in the hospital with the massive UTI. But all results were clear, praise God. Then they did another chest x-ray to see why my oxygen level was low, even after a breathing treatment. The doctor thought at first I might have a partialy collapsed lung. So very thankful that didn't turn out to be true. Finally got to surgery, then woke up. Which is always a good thing. After some Ginger Ale and seeing that everything was working like it should, I was released to come home. I'll get the temporary stent out in a week and I just pray this is the end of my medical drama for a good while. I do so very much appreciate all your prayers and good wishes. Hope all you guys are well or will soon be. I'll be praying for y'all too.
