Progress

I got a fasting blood draw for my upcoming doctor's appointment next Tuesday done today so that we'll have numbers to discuss, which is progress. And I've got an appointment made to get the stent out following my lithotripsy, assuming that the X-ray is good, so that's progress too.

The stent remains unpleasant, but it is there to help make sure that all of the remnants of the stone leave the kidney and -- if it does the job! -- I can certainly put up with this for two more weeks.

In any case, it beats an active kidney stone.
