Prayers for Tom - I so hope this is very routine and the procedure gets rid of his back pain and periodic kidney stone events. And prayers for you as you drive through the city. I feel for you on that one - I'm the same way about city driving - white knuckle all the way!
Thank you. Yeah, I'm out of practice with driving in city traffic. I didn't ever want to travel through Hell-anta ever again. A real estate client used to call it that, LOL. She was so right!
He was having no kidney pain that he could tell, only back/nerve pain. As our new doctor said, usually you find some of this when you're looking for other things. And NO other doctor ever explored why he had stones or suggested any treatment except this new doc. Too bad she's an hour away but at least when I drive an hour, I don't dread seeing the doctor anymore. We both like her. We had a good doctor in our own area until they said TriCare Prime users could only go within 40 miles of a base or closed base or something like that. That means the closest is at least one hour south. When DH hits 65 and gets medicare plus TriCare for Life, which covers what medicare doesn't (and is free, but picky about procedures sometimes, same as now), he can choose any dr that takes medicare, but we may not want to change again. We've been forced to so many times already by cutbacks in military healthcare, it's ridiculous.
