Update:

Went to the Urologist Friday.

Took a urine sample and said that its still there based on what's in the sample. Also said that the ER notes I gave her say that there are several small stones in my upper kidneys. FN awesome. Said they hopefully will stay small and most likely wont ever be a problem but I need to check it in 6 mos. just to be sure.

She said I won't feel it pass b.c it is so small. Also said if I hadn't passed it by tmw (Thurs.) I need to go back with an X ray. Well, the problem is I don't know if it has passed unless I am straining my urine every time I go and it could even slip through there. So, I'm either getting a pointless X ray for nothing or getting an X ray and its still there so they can see where it is. Basically, based on the size, it has to go through a teeny little opening to get into my bladder which is a little smaller than the stone itself.

Prescribed me some new pain killers and other flow stuff. Also disproved a lot of the myths we talked about on here. Although, Panthro, she had never heard the beer one, she liked that. Gave me a full list of what I should avoid in my diet to stay away from developing stones. She did say, I'm not going to write you a prescription for drinking, but a couple beers will definitely help your flow.

I am now a designated "Stoner"(<--haha) for the rest of my life now that I have had one. Awesome. Really lookin forward to that.

If I don't pass it by next week, we have to start looking into options for surgery which is not fuging happening. You have to have a stint put inside you and they go in through down there.....basically I will avoid it at all costs. Can't go the laser route like a few of you suggested because its already in my bladder and getting lazerz near the ovaries of someone my age is nooottt a good idea. I wanna be havinz teh babiez at some point.

All this trouble for something as small as the tip of a pen :(

Sorry Boo

[Kettle]

Thanks guys. Going to get my X ray today then going over there tmw so I guess we will find out if it's still there or not.

One cool thing she told me about was when people have large kidney stones, another way to break them up is sound waves.

You literally go lie on the bed of this truck like thing, and there is this giant machine underneath. It shoots sound waves into your back to break up the stones, she said it doesn't really hurt either, just feels like someone lightly slapping you with a spoon on the back.

Thought that was pretty interesting.

Damn boo, reconsider getting inseminated by the man seed! My ex-wife was a "stoner" and she developed stones while pregnant. Wasn't much they could do accept stint her up for 7 out of 9 months. Kidney Stones caused me to declare bankruptcy and tend to a female that had a piss (nephosomy?spelling) bag plastered on her side for 2 months. After all that medical hell she put me through, she still left me! Hahahaha jokes on her now! Wait, is this ex-wife or kidney stone thread?

Lithrotripsy(sp.)? Dealt with three different urological centers in Va and none fixed her. Went to Duke and I shall forever be a fan, would be even more of a fan had they killed her in the process......I jest, I jest

Let me rephrase that........if you get to where you are attempting a planned pregnancy then u may wanna consider a visit to the urologist for a check up prior to actually breeding! As silly as it sounds, in this case better to be safe than sorry!
