Yup,
My second bout with them.
PASSED a 4mm and a whopping 8mm stone. I still have the second one, will have to post a pic.
Kidney on the left basically is broken (has been since I was little) but just started making stones since 2001.
Looks like I'm gonna have the left kidney yanked out in 2 weeks. (joy)
Fun part was I was hunting Auodad in the Davis Mountains 100 f'ing miles from nowhere... had to drive over an hour to the nearest "town" (Van Horn Texas) to get some major narcotics (Diladid... sp?) and then take a highly vomitous trip on a Piper Navaho (i.e. puddle jumper airplane) back to Houston.
Narcotics are great for pain, but when the docs administer high doses of them without the recommended anti-nausea drugs, you get a wee bit sick.
all better now.
Question: Why is it that most hospital workers seem like if they didn't work for the hospital they would be in prison?
Reflection: If you have the extra $265 a night over a semi-private room to spend on getting a private suite at Methodist Hospital on the luxury Cullen 12th floor of the Fondren Building... do it. They don't call it a "sweet" for nothing. I swear it came with everything but a "happy ending" and I probably could of had one of those too, if it didn't feel like I'd been blasted in the side and then the dick with a 12 gauge.
