The Stone is Gone!

i will do a quick update from my phone and the capital letters do not want to work on this part so please excuse all the small letters. i had my kidney stone removal done last evening. i wont lie and say i feel like a million bucks this morning because i really dont. the stone pain is gone...praise the lord...but i am sore from the procedure. i took pain pills through the night and will need another when it is time. the stone was located where the ureter enters through the bladder and was firmly lodged there. the doctor said it was not coming on through. beings the stone was so near out they did not do the laser treatment to break it up but just grabbed it and took it on out. the kidney was doing fine as far as they could tell but the ureter was swollen and inflamed where the stone was so they put a small stent in to keep the ureter from swelling shut. this will stay in for a week and he said to expect some discomfort from that. the doctor said to expect the next week not to be the greatest in the world but at least these are discomforts of healing and i know the stone is gone.  i would like to give honor where honor is due. first of all my lord and savior who walked with me through this trial. i had pretty intense pain and paced the halls of the hospital up to about an hour before the procedure. the staff at smh could not have treated me better. we were first met jonah who said he was from ninevah and boldly testified of his relationship with god. he worked in preadmission. from there jodi collected our money. even though i strongly disagree with the amount and the method we know that she is just following the rules. she is not one to argue with and professes christianity she gave me a hug and shook jrs hand as we left. in the labs room there were sayings stuck all over the cupboards. some of the were scripture verses and some had gods name on them. i guess i was surprised by their freedom to display christian things. the admission nurses were very kind as well as the post op nurses. dr bilik is my urologist and quite a few of the staff members raved about his character and high quality work he does. if you are a local and ever need a urologist i would highly recommend him. he gave me the fredom to try to get the stone to pass on its on and did not put pressureon me to have the procedure done if not necessary. my procedure only took 45 minutes and not the expected 60. the nurses and staff in the operating room were exceptionally nice and so was the nurse in the recovery room. we got home about 745 last evening...a moment i had been waiting for all day.  thank you so much for all of you who have prayed for me through this time. and for the meals. desserts. cards. etc.  how blessed i am.      and i have to apologize yet again for no caps or commas or paragraphs here...ill probably figure out what i did wrong after i post this.
