TBogg-I wish you luck with your “procedure” and hope that recovery goes well. I had the same thing done last February and it was not a pleasant week afterwards, especially when the stint was taken out. The 40 second video of the procedure that I have burned into my brain will give me the shivers for a long time. Get well soon

Nothing has made me regret that I have a penis like this comment thread. Except that one night in college.

Best of luck and break a…well, that’s not probably the wish, is it.

All the best Bond jokes have been taken already (at least, I can’t think of better ones), so I’ll settle for adding my wishes for an uncomplicated episode of minor surgery and a speedy recovery.

And this will give you an excuse to have Mrs. TBogg check your favorite bit over thoroughly after it’s all better. -.^

If your doc takes requests, I kind of like this one:

Midazolam (marketed under brand names Dormicum, Flormidal, Versed, Hypnovel and Dormonid, pronounced mɪˈdæzəlæm) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It has powerful anxiolytic, amnestic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant and sedative properties. It is considered a short-acting benzodiazepine, with a short elimination half-life[1]. It is therefore a very useful drug to use for short minor procedures such as dental extraction.

Principally, for its amnestic and hypnotic properties. You won’t remember a thing about the procedure.

Do take care. Wishing you the best!

with any luck the offending calcium oxalate crystals are in the ureter, not the kidneys itself. I had litho twice and it did jack for me. I finally passed that sucker entirely on my own on both occasions.

Here is wishing you MUCH better luck.

For those who had Ureteropyeloscopy and Laser Lithotripsy in your office pool - you can collect your money tomorrow morning.

I was down on the Michelle Malkin “TBogg voodoo doll”…may the Goddess bless your oscopy and ripsy.
