Update on Scott's Rocky Adventure........

in The Bridge
Well, had the fifth of at least six surgeries/procedures to get that huge gleet out of my left kidney. One more OR trip should do it. What is left is kind of attached to my kidney's lining, so Doctor Stisser did not get it all Wednesday. But, I am hanging in there. Have passed easily OVER ONE HUNDRED CHIPS. That has been a joy.

{Only setback really has been the whole tube into my kidney through my back shifting and not being able to get to the stone that way. Three of surgery/procedures were that.......

How is everyone else?!?!?

    Scott, I had my gallbladder out on what I believe was the same day as your first surgery. I am so sorry to hear you are STILL in the process, I can not even comprehend being in that state for so long. Sending some energy your way for the final fix next week and a speedy recovery afterward!

    Thank you. It has been a challenge a few times, for sure.

    By no means ami comparing my plight to yours but since you asked, in case you didn’t see I was violently attacked by an employee last Tuesday. Haven’t been back to work since. Other than that all is well

    I missed that, as well, Banjo! Oh no!! I’ll have to dig the forums later for the story, but you also get some energy, that’s a scary situation to me as a former retail manager that narrowly dodged it a few times.

    Oh, no. I had not heard. That is terrible.

    I manage Teamsters in Chicago. Violence has always been there but it’s kinda different when it happens to you. Dude was out of his mind. He was cuffed and thrown into an ambulance for psychiatric evaluation. Haven’t heard the results

    You are okay now? Or recovering at least?

    I am physically ok. Went to the clinic and there was swelling, redness, cauliflower ear. It’s the mental part that has not let me go back to work

    That is understandable for sure.

    A hundred-plus chips? Whoa...that sounds frightening. At least you're nearing the end of the ordeal, right? Wishes for a speedy recovery headed your way!

    Wishing it could have been transported out of you @DScottHewitt .😉

    Hoping you and @Banjo1012 both have better days ahead of you and get feeling better soon.

    After six procedures, down to a chunk the size of a BB. Doing labs & 24 hour urine the 20th, then will see what is next.
