Yay
**Update!** Wanna see my grades? 😀
It’s official: I have 219 points out of a possible 220 for my A-COMM 3301 course, Foundations of Organizational Communication. That’s a good, solid A, eh?
I went to see a very nice urologist on Friday (Dr. Jeffrey Kocurek, for those searching for a urologist in Austin; I do not recommend Dr. Elizabeth Houser for reasons listed in a previous post) and I have a tentative appointment on Thursday for a ureteroscopy, assuming I’m still uncomfortable and haven’t passed the stone on my own by then. Apparently it’s still right above the bladder. The lithotripsy that the other doctor scheduled me for only has a 65% success rate for stones in this area.
The ureteroscopy is similar to the horrible procedure the other doctor did on Monday, but I’ll be unconscious for it. Big difference. I’m still in pain from the first one. 🙁
Anyway, he gave me some Flomax, which is apparently a drug given to men with prostrate problems(!), and I took one yesterday and passed right out for about 5 hours. I think I’ll wait until bedtime tonight to take it.
Apparently I’ve also got another stone in my right kidney which is poised to cause serious problems as well, so I might end up doing the lithotripsy for that one. I’ve been reading some disturbing stuff about long-term consequences though, so I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with that.
