Went in to have my stent checked to make sure it’s working. They injected dye into my kidney then used x-ray to make sure that the fluid went from my kidney to my bladder. It did, so they were able to take the nephrostomy tube out. What a weird feeling! Without any kind of anesthesia, they clipped the sutures then pulled the tube from my kidney through my back. Lots of pressure and tugging, but surprisingly not painful. Released from the hospital today (at last!) Can not wait to be home!
Here's a pic of what my back looked like right after they pulled my tube. I was expecting a gaping hole. As you can see, not the case!
