MICHAEL'S JOURNEY

All

Surgery to remove the capped portion of the internal nephrostomy tube went flawless. Only issue – no need for any Fentanyl (the go to radiology pain killer) or any other back up alternative anesthesia. First time I could drive myself home. They used nothing and I felt nothing. Right ureter clear! Middle Eastern surgeon (my third) with my kind of humor and bedside manner. Came in, shook hands and asked if I was ready to leave hospital today as “Tubeless Joe Jackson”. LET’S DO THIS!!. Maybe 20 minutes. Glorious. I have to come up with some Halloween get up for work. Might have just found it. The Joe Jackson character not the doctor for clarity

Phase two done. Please see attached pic if my description of the last three weeks is not graphic enough. It feels like a larger shooter marble pressing against your kidney. Don’t eat or view late a at night. Yeah Fun

Thank you so much for the prayers and support.

Have a most killer weekend. Until next time, which I am not entirely when it will be as I am going to enjoy the medical celebration Phase three is port placement and then the start of chemo.

Send the prayers to the Swedes, not a great month for them. I’ve used my allotment for October.
