Well they cut me open last week

I had a major surgery called a ureterostomy on May 23rd. In other words they cut me open, cut a piece out of my ureter (the pipe from the kidney to the bladder) then sowed it all back together. This ureter is the one under my one working kidney. The kidney was in danger because of a stricture in the ureter.

6 weeks from now the stent comes out and we shall see if it worked or not. So far he has done a lot of these and he says he has never have had such a procedure fail. So that is one good thing.....
