Lithotripsy

Yeah, I'd never heard of it before either - but basically it means they're gonna blast my stones. I'm scheduled for 8:45 am on Friday. I'm absolutely brokenhearted that I probably won't be able to help with Kate's party. But they only schedule surgeries on Fridays so it really was the soonest they could get me in, they were caring about the baby issue. I also had to stop taking the weaker, anti-inflammatory pain reliever cause I guess it has aspirin in it... I don't know. Anyway, so now I'm trying to hold out the best I can and only take the Vicodin if I need it, I don't like feeling foggy, especially if I'm alone with the girls. Eva's doing extremely well taking a bottle and barely fussed about it at bedtime, which is a mixed blessing, because I do want her to go back to nursing when this is all said and done, but I'm glad she's content for now with the bottle. I'm so not a fan of being a big baby....I can't wait to be "normal" again.

Lithotripsy sounds like it's bad, but it's not. They'll sedate you so you'll be comfy. There shouldn't be any pain afterwards. There is no such thing as prescription strength Tylenol, to my knowledge.

Will be praying for you.
