Severe stomach pain last night finally gave in and went to the ER. They did tests and found I have issues with my gallbladder. They transferred me to the hospital today they did an endoscopy killed some stones that were in the vile duct and put a stent in my vile duct. Tomorrow they remove the gallbladder no fun at all, but it sure needed done. The pain I was in was the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.
 
God bless and protect you Doc. I pray for a hedge of protection around you and that your surgeon's hands be guided by our Lord and Savior , Jesus Christ.

Thank you all for the prayers and good wishes.

Surgery was no fun at all. My gallbladder did not want to come out. Doctor said it was really attached to my liver. Like it was super glued. Then while trying to break it loose / cut it loose the gallbladder busted open. So some of the stones and stuff inside it fell back into me.
End result I have a drain to let all that crud drain out of me over the next 7 days. I am very sore. My insides hurt. It's hard to move. I could not sleep at all in the hospital. Thankfully I am home now and I got some sleep last night. Each day should get a wee bit better,
 
That doesn't sound good Doc. :(
I have to get kidney surgery soon to remove another massive stone. They go in from my back and up through my ureter.

Thanks Scotty. Best wishes to you moving past all those issues. You are so right, getting old is not for sissies.

Thanks for asking. I'm doing great. Once they removed the drain tube from my side I was able to sleep and do stuff mostly pain free. Had a week of vacation scheduled and am in the middle of it doing great. I cannot submerge in water of any kind for 60 days and here I am in 87 degree FL.
Today we went on the Key West Express. A boat ride from Ft Myers to Key West and back to Ft Myers. Probably should have spent the night at key west but rooms we checked on were over 400 and we didn't want to stay that bad. LOL
But overall all GREAT with me.

Did they get your stone out yet Zoomer?
 
Great Doc, happy for you.
Had 2 Kidney Stones lasered yesterday, a 9mm and 10mm after the 3rd try. Three separate appointments, outpatient.
Doc changed the stent to one with a string hanging out for the debris to eject, gonna remove that next week in the office, just pull it out.
Left home at 5 AM and was back at 11 AM to blow snow with the Kubota B2650 Cab with 63 inch blower.
Was pretty painful draining my tank this morning, but mild since.
