I’m getting by. I’m at the point where any expected improvements have already occurred. I’m on disability and Medicare. I’d rather support myself but we play with the hand we’re dealt.
I’m eating pretty much normally.
Because I lost abdominal muscle I’ve developed several hernias. I’m told that they’re harmless and that the risks of trying to fix them wouldn’t be worth the minimal gains, so I’ll have to live with them, along with all the pills, injections, and dietary complications.
At the same time I’m kind of enjoying what amounts to retirement. I get to read, surf the web, watch movies, build models, and of course post here, so it’s not all bad.
The kidney stones could be from dehydration, so it may be sort of GI related.
There’s no sign of infection so they’re sending me home with a pain med prescription and I’ll need to follow up with their urology department.
Not as far as I know. The cat scan showed one stone, medium sized.They gave me this little screen thing to pee through so if I haven’t already passed it I’ll probably see it when I do.
May your joys override your troubles!
