lithotripsy

Is it painful or just noisy like the old type MRI?

Best wishes for successful surgery.

Thanks to everyone for good wishes. Actually they put me out under general anesthesia. I only remember waking up, needing to pee and a sore throat from the endo trachael (ET) tube. I pushed to get discharged even though I feel like I get superb care because all of the nurses and doctors know me. Because I have a Nurse practitioner(NP) as my primary care provider I get a hospitalist as my admitting physician. Since most of them know me they pretty much do what I ask, which is why I have a NP as my primary care provider, she listens to me but isn't afraid to challenge my thinking. I am taking it easy today and tomorrow to lessen the chances of waking up the Weg dog.

Good luck Beth, I always ask for pyridium( turns urine bright orange) and oxybutin, it eases the discomfort.
