I don't know if you are like us...but we often say about a not particularly good situation: "This too shall pass." Well, when I happened to say that yesterday to Woody, I didn't realize till after I said it how especially true it was in this situation with a kidney stone!
Something that I didn't mention yesterday was where the scan showed Woody's kidney stone. All they saw was a shadow very close to the opening of the bladder...so that meant that it was about to pass into the bladder. The doctor told Woody that the pain happens when the stone is traveling to the bladder. And, after that the pain pretty much stops.
Woody stopped having kidney pain sometime in the night. Now as to whether the stone has totally passed out of his system is still in question. The doctor told him that the stone would be black and that it would be about the size of the opening on a ball point pen. So far he has only seen something much smaller than that. So that is the reason for the question mark in the title of this blog. The rest of the title could be: "but when or has it already?"
Today, Woody seems none the worse for this latest experience. He slept very well last night making up for no sleep the night before. I slept just so-so last night and have been sleeping off and on all afternoon. Woody did teach Sunday School this morning.
