I had my kidney stone lasered yesterday and now I'm peeing sand. Or salt. I have to strain my urine and after I go it looks (and feels) like tiny little grains of salt in the bottom of the strainer. Hey, I'll take it. For some reason peeing doesn't hurt nearly as bad now, I wonder how much pressure that stone was putting on my kidney, ureter or even stent.
The worst part was that my lasering was at 4:30pm (so you know I didn't get in until after 5pm). I had to follow surgery guidelines of nothing to eat or drink past midnight the night before. Its very hard not to drink water all day when you are used to drinking it a lot, add to that _KNOWING_ you can't have any. I did a lot of rinsing and spitting. Heh.
Of course, being dehydrated makes finding good veins a challenge. My arms and hands make me look like a junkie. Too bad it's not the week of Halloween. I could not shower for a couple days, put on lots of black eye makeup, tease up my hair and go as a fat Amy Wino.
