[OT] Still no answers
I just got back from the doctors and I still don't have any definitive
answers. The good news... the cyst on the kidney they were talking about was one we already knew about, on the *left* kidney, not the right. The stones have moved from the kidney to the bladder and there was some swelling in the tube going up to the right kidney, so they may be stuck a bit, but not enough to warrant a lithotripsy. There didn't appear to be any swelling of the right kidney itself (what *was* that mass I kept seeing on the monitors????!!). The bad news... my diagnostician thinks it could be one of several things, a bile duct obstruction (still possible even though I've had my gallbladder removed), ulcers (quite possible since I just had them pretty badly 2 years ago - he's doing some lab work to test for that), or something wrong that the surgeon is just not fessing up to. The only alternatives left is more expensive and intrusive testing (a colonoscopy, a "nuclear" MRI, and an endoscopy) - or just living with the pain until it gets too unbearable. Right now I'm choosing living with the pain - what the heck, I'm already living with the pain of fibromyalgia and degenerative disk disease, what's one more pain on top of that. Sheesh! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/

While you still have medical insurance get it all done, however unpleasant. It will be far more unpleasant if it needs to be done anyway in a few months and you are out of insurance, surely? Tweed
