Lithotripsy #3

So today I went in for my 3rd lithotripsy. We arrived at 7:30am (meaning we left home at 6am), a half an hour before I had to be there. I got registered, changed, got my vitals checked then the anesthetist (a different one than the other 2 times) wanted to put the IV in me right then. I was like uhh...last time they did it right on the table so I wouldn't faint. And she said "oh, you won't do THAT!" so I told her to at least put it in my arm not my hand so she did. That went okay...didn't faint and had it in my arm the whole time I waited, which was about 2 1/2 hours. Got in and got it done...the stones in my ureter had passed and 2 of the 3 stones moved down so he focused on those ones and I have to go back on the 30th to get that last one done. Hopefully that'll be IT! I think because of where it was, I didn't have any pain afterward (besides the feeling of having a bladder infection, of which I am taking an antibiotic right now in case it actually is.)
