Wednesday march 23 I went to the hospital to have some kidney stones in the right kidney blasted to grains of sand since I had already passed a very painful 5 ( the size of a grain of rice) and they said I had some 7's in each kidney. I said we ain't going to do that again! So I checked in at 7 am and waited 2 hours for them to get me in the OR for the procedure.
I get in there and transferred to the other table and when they start hooking everything up discover my heart rate was 137. I wouldn't settle down and the anesthesiologist just said it wasn't safe. She said at one time I turned over and my face turned purple! While I was there though the doctor ran the machine over my right kidney to see if they could do it if my heart was good to go. He decided he couldn't get the machine to line up to blast the kidney stones. He said something about my kidney being slightly lower than it was supposed to be so I guess that messed everything up and it wouldn't have worked anyway. I think it was one of those things where bad things ( high pulse rate) happen for good reasons. They could have had me all hooked up and put under then found out the machine wouldn't have worked for me and I would have gone though all that anesthetics for nothing.
Now here come the religious part so if you don't want to hear about religion now is a good time to just go do something else and forget this. My last big surgery was the cancer surgery in 2017. At that time I was shown tall thin angels totally circling the operating table to protect me. I just thought lets do this again. I asked for God to send his angels back and surround my table once again and protect me. Sure enough I saw them. I had been praying for days for everything to be good and for the doctors not to find any other problems and for God to heal anything and everything wrong before that started.
I went in Wednesday for about 1/2 day of a procedure and wound up spending Wednesday and Thursday night and Friday day in the hospital. They were worried about why my heart rate was so bad. They ran alllllll........ kinds of tests on me. 24 total tests during that time. Multiple blood tests for various reasons daily. Several chest ex-rays. They ran a scan thing up and down both legs looking for DVT (Blood clots in the legs) D-Dimer for blood clots,Echo cardio grams Thyroid,all kinds of weird blood components I have no clue what the heck they were for.EKG's bunch of normal everyday blood tests.
When it was all said and done they told me to take a water pill more often, and to change my happy pill from welbutrin to Cymbalta for anxiety. Evidently since I had the first kidney stone and they told me I had something to look at in the right breast I was worried so much it made the pulse rate higher an this made my body handle fluids all wrong and the BP was just totally stupid.
Although I still had kidney stones they are not bothering me at this time. They may not ever bother me again who knows. But considering they only had me change one happy pill and to take the water pill more often......
I THINK GOD DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PROTECTING ME!
Look at all those tests and that was all they thought I needed!

PS. They had no clue how to feed a person with Alpha Gal and all the other food allergies I have. I think I ate 2 meals the whole time I was there and stopped eating at 11:30 p on Tuesday night the night before the procedure! I had to send several things back because I couldn't eat what they brought. I starved the whole time. LOL
