AoaCB’s Prologue “Chapter Two” Update – June 7, 2019
(As posted on Patreon and Edited to include F95 in release schedule)
As I write this, those that are
$20 Patrons (on Patreon) should now have June’s “
Tech Release” of
Adventures of a Changed Boy in your messages.
Because of some situations that have been occurring here at home (which I will explain shortly), I had to kind of move up the time table to sending everything out and will be sending out June’s “
Tech Release” to the $10 Patrons (and here on F95 as well) on Monday.
As for what has been going on, here at home…
On Saturday, May 25th, I began to urinate blood and began to experience pain and nausea… which was a sure sign that the 5mm Kidney Stone that we all knew I had (or those that have been with me since last October and followed my posts in the "
Wicked Choices: Book One" thread knew) had likely dropped.
Sure enough, after a fair amount of waiting in the Emergency Room, at our local hospital, the ER doctor informed my wife and I that the stone had had progressed from the renal pelvis and shifted to the right ureteropelvic junction… and that it was no longer 5mm but 9MM!!!!
In short, there was
NO WAY that I would be able to pass this stone naturally, they would need to perform surgery to get it out of me.
After consulting with the doctor and my wife, I decided it would be best if I had my own Urological doctor perform the necessary surgery, as he’d already been all up in my sh*t previously and I trust him over a doctor I don’t know.
Unfortunately, that meant waiting to call him after Memorial Day weekend, before I could get in to see him… which, in reality, actually meant having to wait till June 3rd to see him, as he was out of the office till then…
So, Monday I go in to see him and on Tuesday underwent surgery to have the stone removed… which, sadly, it couldn’t be reached.
Apparently, after spending a good week urinating blood and being on heavy pain killers, my right ureter became inflamed to the point where they were unable to get the laser through the ureter and to the kidney to remove the stone.
So… the doctor put a nice sized stent in, backed out and is rescheduling the surgery for next week to give some time for the anti-inflammatory drugs and stent to do their jobs and will go back in on Wednesday, June 12th at 4pm Eastern Time to have the 9mm stone (as well as, the 3mm and 1mm stone I also have in that kidney) removed.
Needless to say, due to the fact that I have just spent the past two weeks pretty much doped to the gills to deal with the pain this stone is causing me, as well as, the time that I am going to need after the surgery, I am a little behind in my work on “
Chapter Two”, but
I HAVE BEEN WORKING, just not as much as I would’ve liked.
So, expect July’s “
Chapter Two” release to be a little bit postponed, but it will be out and I will make it worth the extra wait… including some interesting news about some things we have planned for all of you, that I will share with you once we get a little closer to it!
Anyhow, that is the current update for this week and apologize in advance for the tardiness on July’s release… also, either I or the Wife will let you know next Thursday/Friday how the surgery went (over here and on Patreon) and give you any further updates then.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I'm going to go and take my next round of meds, try and get some work done before they kick in and then get some rest… please, please, accept my early apologies and I hope that you all have a great weekend (or at least a better one than mine will be)!
