Once again it is always something

Will,

As you know that is what happened to my other kidney our stories were very similar. They could not get it to open back up when they tried but again like you the damage was already done.

Thanks for the offer but we have the names of a few guys that do work with ureters doing laser. The point is that they often close up again and is that a game I can afford to be playing at this point? Each time the ureter closes it can do damage to the kidney.

Cynthia, you are an inspiration to all of us.

Just thought I would update you all. As most of you know recuperating in a hospital let alone sleeping is a joke., so being home is great and I can feel my get up and go getting up and going again if slowly. I am off to Boston again today Dr’s appointment tomorrow and then on Wednesday they are going to try to run a line through the kidney and break through the scar tissue in the ureter and into my Indiana pouch to hold me over until surgery. This will also make it easier to find the ureter during surgery. The upside of this situation is that since they want me to have six to eight weeks to build myself up before they do surgery is it gives me time to study the situation and make some decisions. There are options but the question remains that with one kidney left and that one already damaged there is no margin for error, what is the safest thing to do? I will keep you all updated as time goes on but know that I am doing fine and am back at work (slower than usual) so if you need me I am here. I will try to be on our support chat tonight that we hold every Sunday at 8pm Eastern time.
