MORE trips to the doctor :(

This morning I began having pain in my right kidney AGAIN :(

I went to work planning on calling my doctor at break to let them know what is going on. About 9am I went to the bathroom to find a lot of blood in my urine. I caved and called Dr. Sargent right away who talked to me and ultimately sent me to the urologist, Dr. Rosenquist. Dr. Rosenquist is the doctor who did my surgery and placed the stent and we were thinking that was what was causing the pain and bleeding.
After a long afternoon of blood draws and urinalysis testing I got in to see the urologist and he determined the stent had to come out. The stent took about 5 minutes for him to remove the stent and was incredibly uncomfortable. However we got the stent out and happily I already notice the kidney pain is gone. My only struggle now is going to be hoping all the stones actually passed and if this stent removal doesn't cause my kidney stone issue to return. For now we just wait and see if any pain comes back. All I can do to try to prevent it is to stay active and drink lots and lots of water.
I am happy that I have such a great medical team working with me! I can't even begin to explain how happy I am with the care I have gotten with Dr. Sargent and his office staff. Even Dr. Rosenquist and his staff today was amazing. Although I am exhausted and sick of dealing with this kidney stone issue I am glad I have a great team of doctors that I trust to do the right thing for me and Lincoln :)
