I never talk about things.

I feel awkward when I do.

It seems like my thoughts are never even close to anyone else’s, so I share them, no one will understand. They will just try and correct me or tell me it’s dumb or stupid.

It’s likely not true, but it’s still his I feel.

Being sick for almost a year now has been eye opening in many ways.

I know I’m different from others. I react differently. When I left the hospital and when I go for check ups, doctors tell me I’m handling this really well. No crying or screaming or wailing. I just shrug. None of that will fix things so it just seems like waisted effort.

I am scared and freaked out. I just don’t show it on the outside. I never have. I’m a bundle of frayed nerves that are always on edge. But it never shows. My skin is like this perfect mask of calm. When it cracks and the reality shines through, people look at me like I’m defective or something.

I’ve always been the person that other people go to for help, strength, advice, or just to listen. I’m that person. The one who listens without judgement.

When I’m alone or at night, I cry. Sometimes it’s just a sniffle or a few tears. Other times it’s raging sobs. I don’t know how to do that in front of others.

The only person I cry around is my husband. And it’s usually when I reach the end of my rope about something. Frustration sets in and I get so mad I just cry.

Being sick makes me anxious when I talk to my mother about it. I understand I am her only daughter and she is sad and scared and loves me, but when I explain things time and again and when I say something that may sound or is less than ideal or not good, she almost gets mad or just gets an attitude like it’s my fault or doesn’t want to accept reality and when I try to explain further, she just glosses over and doesn’t want to hear the reality.

That hurts.

Reality is reality. I can’t afford to be upset about it constantly. Moving forward is what works for me.

I don’t know what I’m doing.

I’m just trying to survive.

Complete Calcified Ureteral Stent: A Less Challenging Scenario When Using Adequate Technology by Rivero Guerra A* in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research https://biomedres.us/fulltexts/BJSTR.MS.ID.002298.php Ureteral stents and nephrostomy tubes are routinely used in many urological procedures. Significant technological innovations and improvements have been developed during the past decades in stent design and material; however, serious complications, including migration, fragmentation, encrustation and stone formation, still may occur [1]. Forgotten stents due to loss of follow-up may undergo severe encrustation and stone formation, a situation for which there is still no consensus on the best therapeutic approach [2]. A 55-year-old man presented to our department in September 2017 with hematuria and lower back pain. He had prior history of bilateral ureteral stenting in a different centre in August 2017 due to bilateral renal obstruction with anuria and acute renal failure (serum creatinine level up to 5.4 mg/dL). He had subsequently passed a uric acid stone < 5mm. 3.5 x 1cm right ureteral stone and bilateral grade 2 hydronephrosis were observed (Figure 1). Removal of both stents and right retrograde Ureteroscopy (URS) were recommended and alkalinisation of urine by application of alkaline citrate was started. URS was scheduled on February 2018. Both stents were unsuccessfully removed due to calcification. Right URS was then carried out. Through a nitinol guidewire, an 8F semi-rigid ureteroscope under fluoroscopic guidance was introduced into the right ureteral orifice beside the encrusted stent and ascended up to the proximal ureter, where the aforementioned stone was formed around the stent. This stone was fragmented using a 300nm Holmium laser and fragments were removed with NGage Nitinol Stone Extractor (Cook Medical). The stent was completely extracted afterwards and a new 6F stent was placed under fluoroscopic guidance. The same approach was unsuccessfully intended in the left ureter, as the stent was completely calcified from the mid ureter up to the renal pelvis, and the ureteroscope progression from this point could not be achieved.  For more articles Journals on Medical Microbiology please click here bjstr Follow on Twitter : https://twitter.com/Biomedres01 Follow on Blogger : https://biomedres01.blogspot.com/ Like Our Pins On : https://www.pinterest.com/biomedres/
