Thanks for all the good thoughts you guys. It really helps. And thanks for the info about anemia causing the heart murmur, Bardwing. I’m hoping that goes away on it’s own as I heal and get rest. Looking back, I suspect that I’ve been anemic for quite a while.
Monday I have my post op visit with the surgen (I don’t think he knows anything about the rest of this). He’ll be removing the stitches and the stint they left in. I’m hoping to see pictures of the stone, but it will be in lots of pieces. I’m told it was about the size of my forefinger from the tip to the second knuckle. No wonder it was causing problems!
