Further medical hijinks
It has nothing to do with Covid, but on Tuesday, May 4, I'm going to be in NYULangone Hospital in New York City for kidney surgery. I will be having a laparoscopic pyeloplasty, to correct a constriction in the tube from one of my kidneys to my bladder, to enable that kidney to do its job more effectively. I was born with one kidney smaller than the other, which is fairly common, but between my heart problems, a recent kidney stone, and a recent urinary tract infection (possibly related to the stone), the underdeveloped one isn't doing its share of the work - and that's affecting my heart. The human body is complicated.
I may be in the hospital for several days, and they can't predict how many. I need to go book shopping before I'm admitted, and I won't have any way to read or send email, read or post to this journal, or otherwise communicate with the world. (I don't own a smartphone, a laptop, or a tablet.) But whatever healing energy anybody feels like sending me will be most welcome!
Of course, Babs Bunny (from my previous medical misadventures) will accompany me through this whole process.
See you guys later!
