I am looking for some advice.
I have recently had a battle with a kidney stone. That thing has completely messed up my training in the last month. I just got my stent removed this week that I have had in for two weeks. The amount of time I spent training the two weeks prior to my initial surgery was kind off hit or miss depending on how I felt that day.
My question is, how should I handle my training for the next two weeks? This will be my first trip to nationals and I am very excited. I will be swimming the 500, 200IM, and the 100 IM. I have really put the work into this up until my body decided to pick the wrong time of year to not cooperate.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You've had recent surgeries, Today is May 10th, the meet starts for you on May 21st, you've got 10 or 11 days depending on how you count
it's too late to "put in the work"
just take it easy, do taper practices or even lighter.
don't do too much this close to the meet,
you don't have time to pick it up then drop it down.
just keep it down, do what your doctor & your coach say you can
see if they'll allow you to do some 50's & 100's at your 500 pace
ALSO, swim smart races, split your 500 fr & 200 IM really well
