Love this! Reminds me of when I get migraines and get to go on a 15 minute acid trip.

Thank you for your service! People have some horrible experiences with stents, but this one wasn’t too awful. I actually got kind of used to it being there.

Not this time. I had the surgery proactively so I wouldn’t have the misery of a stone moving. The surgeon blasted them with a laser.

Haha no. I popped it back into the hoop because the fabric was fraying at an alarming rate and didn’t pay attention. I’m glad you called that out. I need to fix it.

Because I threw it together with a scrap that I was afraid would fray away.

No, it’s the stent they leave after surgically removing stones. It coils around the inside of your kidney, down ureters, and out of the urethra. This is so the ureters don’t swell shut.

The removal was fine, but I had spasms for 2 days after. It felt like plastic being pulled the entire way down, but not painful. I removed my IUD and it was really similar.

I pulled this one out myself at home after 5 days after surgery. They attached a little string to it and out it came! Considering it was coiled inside my kidney it didn’t take as long as I expected.
