I was taken into hospital on Friday for investigation, and after having an ultrasound and a CT scan done it seems I've a 5mm kidney stone stuck in my Ureter causing back pressure on one of my kidneys.
I spent most of the day being told I was going to be given an op, but they changed their mind and sent me home with some pills in the hope it'll move naturally, though if I start to feel worse it's straight back to hospital and operation time.
I can't say I look forward to the prospect of having some surgical apparatus shoved up the end of my 'gentleman sausage' and threaded up into my kidney, so I'm drinking gallons of water and praying the stone will shift on it's own...
What makes this most annoying is I was supposed to start a new job Monday, and had a flight booked to Glasgow where I was going to be training - I hope my prospective employer remains understanding until I'm sorted, but they wanted someone who could start the job quickly - this problem really did come out of the blue.
I hope they use excessive amounts of gamma rays and stuff because look at Dr David Bannerman. He became amazing
