Went to have my outpatient surgery this morning. Dr. Walmsley is shorter than I thought. Anyway, the surgery went well, but I got a fresh stent, so I'm not sure if I'm going to have to have this down again or not. I'm also not sure they got the stone. I don't hurt, so it doesn't matter much to me. I'm still peeing blood a little. It's always worrisome, but it should go away by tomorrow. I "updated" the kids, but I'm not sure what to tell them. Steve had to go home, then come back for me. They wouldn't let him stay. He brought my phone to call them and tell them he was there to pick me up but couldn't figure out how to use it. He had the flashlight on when we saw him in the hall. 🤣 I shouldn't laugh - that happened to me when I got my second or third smartphone. I had to get the librarian, who was 20 years or so my junior, to turn it off for me.
