I was at the hospital from 5pm until about 6:30 this morning. The stone is 7mm, and it looks like they will have to use the "sonic boom" machine (xtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)) on it, hopefully Tuesday. I am really excited...
It took 4mg of morphine, and two other stronger drugs before they could get the pain under control. This mix was repeated every few hours. Pain is a good teacher of patience.
The "concrete headed baby", has for the moment, moved out of the ductwork, but I can still feel it bumping around. If I can't wait until Tuesday when the machine is available, then they will have to use a catheter and basket approach. I have to tell you, that sounds most unappealing.
I will try out the juice, Gel. Thanks!
Hang in there HD.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
