It all started when Perry was mowing our "mole hills" about a month ago. Came inside in so much pain and was pretty sure it was a kidney stone. He hadn't had one for 4 years and did not have fond memory's of the procedure. (In fact, he had just had the surgery about a day before Tara gave birth to Ellie, and was curled up in a corner of the waiting room in pain. Tara did MUCH better and had something CUTE CUTE CUTE to show for it)
Back to my story.... he got much worse this week. Ended up at Mt Carmel ER on Monday night. CT Scan showed 6mm stone between kidney and bladder.
He already had an appt in Joplin with Dr Frogge for Friday, but ER Dr said we needed to call the next morning to tell them how big it was. Dr Frogge got us right in, and ended up with emergency surgery at Freeman. He was very nauseous after surgery so had to spend the night. For any of you that have not yet visited the Freeman Towers, those rooms are NICE! I had a nice fold out couch that made into a large rock to sleep on, but I'm not complaining, at least it wasn't a chair.
We are now waiting for all the discharge papers to be processed and will be on our way home this morning.
I'm so thankful that he is now on the road to recovery.
Sorry, the patient did not allow pictures :). (darn)

When I saw the picture on the right above the book case at first I thought it was Perry laying on the floor in pain. Glad he is feeling better and has this ordeal over. M.
