@PeppyPatti ... sorry to hear you aren't doing the best Patti. A couple years ago I had kidney stones, and they were that big I couldn't pass them the normal way, so they had to be surgically removed.
I kind of understand your pain, my operation was set aside for the middle of the year but as it turned out I ended up having them done in February because one decided to get stuck, so it became an emergency procedure. What made it worse was I had to undertake a 90-minute drive because the hospital that was closest didn't have the facilities in the operating theatre to perform the procedure.
I had the operation done in a private hospital and I spent 3 days there. Two weeks later I was back to have the implants to assist any additional fragments to pass removed. That was another unpleasant operation however this time I was conscious for it!

Thats awful - kidney stones.
When I got the ambulance first the ambulance people told me there was nothing wrong and why was I making a drama over nothing so I endured second daily pain for about 4 months before I went back to another hospital.
Then I was discharged and started hemorrhaging - my carer came over and I'm sweating and screaming to ...........
There was nothing wrong with me ---
Iv had to be very very nice to her since.
There were some people like @Glisten jumping up and down saying go private ----the docs said they'll pull the gall bladder out by the new year ...,.I'm still waiting....
@avant-garde was too o think. Perhaps @ENKELI

Thank you for the tag but I only really do Christian music or kid friendly music and even some of that is triggering for me.
I only engaged because I was confused as to why I was tagged and what it was referring to. now it's kind of all messing with my head because it compartmentalized other threads for that kind of conversation and not this one because it's suddenly music again and I don't discuss music unless it's Christian.
Ok going around the mulberry bush again
