MICHAEL'S JOURNEY

Hey all,

After dragging around a urine bag attached to a tube coming out of my right kidney for week, my surgery today replaced that with a stint (tube) internally today. There is still a small emergency external tube that is capped coming out the kidney just in case there is some back up or pain, but, if there is none, that will be removed next week which is a five-minute procedure. This was a big deal to me as there was no guarantee the stint could be put in through the tumor bladder area without stirring anything up. It also makes sure the right kidney stays healthy.

It also allows for total physical mobility without the fear of pulling something out my intestines – yuck. I’m gonna miss that ole bag and tube. yeah NOT.

Thank you again for the prayers have a great weekend
