So I went to my urologist appointment today. Dr. Frank Kim. Nice guy actually and not one of them really old foggies either. Rather upbeat and such. So far I have passed one stone from my left kidney, which still leaves a tiny one in each kidney respectively. And they're not exactly noteworthy either. They could be walled up in there for weeks or even years.

Well, I have my percocet prescription refilled to 40 tablets, a new nauseous medication and some drug that will attempt to allow an easier passing of said stones. Unsure of the side effects right now so I'll be researching the brand shortly.

In two weeks I will have another CAT scan or however they spell the darn thing. They will determine then whether or not I will need surgery to remove and/or break up the one that is currently passing. Because apparently what did already liberate itself from me, so to speak, was not an actual stone. 60% chance I will need surgery. This new medication slightly improves my chances in not needing it or so I'm told.

I'm rather frightened at the aspect of surgery. Not because of Stephanie threatened to terminate my life as I know SHE WOULD! But I am and always have been scared of surgery and also being delayed further into the Job Corps program. I still don't know when I could go. Any time between February and April. But I know it'll take weeks for me to recover from an operation and it could easily cause a delay if I do go under the knife.

It's depressing having to handle these issues alone all the time.
