Well I had to go back to hospital AGAIN last night.. But for something different altogther. Turns out I have something called a "Staghorn" kidney stone. Not really a stone though. Made of the same substence (calcium) but instead of being just a stone, what it's doing is branching althroughout the channels of my kidney. The doctor described it as looking like a starfish in the cat-scan. I was looking into it on the net, and the only ways to get rid of it are to desolve it in some kind of ultrasound that is stronger than the average waves or surgery (possibly removing the whole kidney depending on the amount of function in it). So this has got me all stressed out... Especially with school starting up again. I have a docter's appiontment tomarrow morning and another on thursday with a urologist(sp). Anyways, I'm extremely tired so I'm going to hit the hay and get it off my mind for now.
