Subject: They suck even more than I thought
In reply to: Chandi 's message, "Kidney Stones suck" on 21:23:21 07/27/04 Tue

Oh sure, they didn't bother to tell me yesterday just how HUGE this particular kidney stone is.

I went to the Urologist today. My stone is 3 times the size of a stone that would pass on its own. So, I have to have a ESWL (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) procedure. They are going to put me to sleep and break up the stone with sound waves. Then they are going to place a stent to help me pass all of the fragments. The stent will be in place anywhere from one week to three months, depending on when I pass the stones. He told me to expect a lot of pain after the procedure. Oh boy... I am so looking forward to this... NOT! Just thought I would share.
