Thanks to all of you who have prayed for me and sent good thoughts my way.
Thankfully, after seeing the urologist to follow up on my kidney infection and the possible third procedure, I was told that I do not need the third procedure!!!! After the stent removal and a couple of days of rest, I honestly feel like a new person. The doctors do not know how long that 12mm stone was in there but I passed a 3mm stone in November and believe it was there well before that. I also believe that even before the stone partially blocked a ureter I was feeling the affects. I was exhausted all the time. Never had any energy and then when my kidney became enlarged, I was down for the count.
So moral of the story, keep a watch on your kidneys!
Anyway, I’ve got lots of work to do in my studio to get it in order for my creative energy to start slinging some paint!
Again, thank you for your kind words and encouragement. You all made me feel very lucky to have so many that care about me. 💜
