Uffda! I had my appointment with the urologist today....he said I probably either have scar tissue in my ureter or a vein is wrapped around it and is causing an obstruction. My kidney may be dead or dying. I have surgery scheduled for the 15th. He will do a scope and if it looks fixable, will put in a stint until he can do more surgery to fix it. This has turned-out to be much more than I expected. I guess it's a good thing that I'm not in the middle of a move to a new location and job right now....sigh...still no job in sight....will interview for a Pre-school position the week of the 13th....my surgery is on the 15th....I have an x-ray appointment on the 8th and also a pre-op appointment.
Nite nite...JJ

Good grief! That's a heck of a note. I hope it turns out much better than the scenario your urologist has described. Doctors seem to have a knack for always painting the worst possible picture.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Wow Jill!!!!!!
I have found that the doc's seem to scare the beegeezes out of you when "guessing" - hopefully that will be the case here!
Good luck and best wishes for a minimal problem and a quick recovery.
Hang in there.
