Stent removed

What a wonderful story. Despite the challenges of the past three months, you've overcome! You'll have lifted quite a few hearts I reckon. Thanks so much for sharing Hx

Hi MM. Good to know your stent has been removed. It must be a relief in more ways than one . Hopefully the discomfort will ease over the coming days. Best wishes.

Seriously, I feel like a million dollars right now. Crazy how I didn't realise how it was effecting me. My partner has noticed a big improvement in my mood (a mood I didn't realise I had)

So pleased for you after a tough time. Garviv

I sooo wish health professionals would pay more attention to the effects of physical situations and treatments on the patients' mood, and consequent effect on partners/family/carers. Glad you are feeling better.

The only issue I have is that the surgeon told me he put two stents in. And from what I can tell from the awful doctors writing I believe he did. I still get pain around my kidney which is where the other one is supposed to be. But THEIR paperwork only mentioned one so that's all they removed.

But that's a problem for another day.

I think MagicMirror you should take this to PALS at whichever hospital/s this is. Even if it doesn't go on to cause YOU trouble, a repeat failure of communication could have dire consequences for another patient - so they need to sort their systems.

I would agree with Denby. You want your records to be accurate and you need your team to reflect on whether the second stent needs to be removed sometime. PALS are a great organisation which will try to sort out your concerns. Hope you are still feeling amazing. xx
