I had surgery on June 23rd. Also June 11th, I ended up being taken to emergency by ambulance. My right kidney was failing. For about 3 weeks before that I could not eat anything except for a little bit of watermelon here and there. And anything I did eat or drink within 5 minutes it would have came back up. From May 31st to June 11th (when I ended up in emergency) I had lost over 18 lbs. My second son was born March 5th, and March 18th I ended up in emergency in Halifax with kidney stones. They inserted a stent to keep my ureter opened. June 11th when I ended up in emergency I was in the hospital where I live till the 13th when I was transferred to a larger hospital facility. They managed to get the kidney stone attacks under control (at this point my kidney was failing and was poisoning me) by inserting a tube through my back into my kidney which allowed my kidney to drain. Then on the 23rd of June I had to go back they took out a 20 mm stone and about 10 other stones fairly large in size as well. Friday July 8th, they removed my stitches and removed a new stent they inserted after my surgery. Since then I have had no more kidney stone attacks and I actually feel myself again. Could this be what cause my period to come twice last month and so far not at all this month?
