seabiscuit

I went to see my urologist on Monday.  I was the only patient in their office and still had to wait an obnoxious amount of time to be seen.  I needed to update my info and when the nurse came into my room, she asked me all the same questions, that I had already answered on my new questionnaire.  An article read later, another nurse popped her head into my room and said that the urologist wanted an ultrasound of my kidney.  She escorted me into the room, gave me directions and said the Dr. would be right in... another article later, this time on Jon and Kate Plus 8, the Dr. comes in, notes what I'm reading and makes a comment like "you're the mom of five reading about the mom of 8, you must be the pento-mom." har har.  I just said, "well I have been waiting and waiting and this was here to kill the time."  I hate waiting in Dr.'s offices.  I have an appointment to see you.  Have enough respect for me to see me @ my appointment time.  Good news is that the stone is no longer in my kidney.  My kidney looks fine.  He could only see the kidney and just part of the ureter.  So this means one of 3 things...1- the stone has passed without me catching it,  2- it has dissolved, or d- it's on it's way out.  I have to be honest here in saying that I haven't been straining as I should.  Those paper strainers only last for so long and it is grody.  In the meanwhile, he gave me a dr.'s sample of a drug that is used normally for prostate patients, to make me pee like Seabiscuit.  Hopefully the sheer force of pee coming out is the blast out whatever is blocking anything up.  This will be interesting.
