holy suiseki Al! Wish you a speedy recovery. Maybe Jerry can make you a diaza for that big one, needs a better background though.Curt and Rod were able to fix the feed. It was rerouted thru Vandenberg AFB, they told them this was dust on the second stage of the vapo cooler. They bought it.
My daughter is actually having a kidney stone obliterated via laser today...7 mm stone lodged in her left renal pelvis. She was passing blood for a month before we finally got the diagnosis. She had a stent placed up and into the kidney 10 days ago in preparation for today. Hoping for an in and out procedure and home this afternoon to make a pitcher of manhattans to enjoy with friends, and I wish you have a Merry, blissfully pain free Xmas, Al.

Here is a screen shot of the inside of by bladder after busting it up into 5 pieces. It was about the size of a pea. They extract it from there with a basket device and out through the uretha. Fun stuff!
Sorry, photo will not capture. Hospital protected. Must find patch through the Pentagon. I have Curt and Rod on this and they should have the feed fixed soon. These two are installing a pacemaker in me next month. They found a good one at a surplus store.
Shit man, just seen this. I just had a 7.9 millimeter stone lasered and retrieved, I spent a week in Depends diapers pissing blood with a string hanging out of the little general connected to a stent, damn health care would pay for the procedure. But I had to pull the stent out by the attached string as that part was not life threatening, loads of fun. I have no one I hate bad enough to wish one of these procedures on. Remember to drink tons of water to prevent this by keeping yourself flushed out, I managed to go 20 years since my last blocking stone by practicing proper hydration.
BTW I was on my way home in less than an hour after coming too from the anesthesia.

Thats what I did also, except mine was the BIG General. They had to add extra string on mine. Problem was, after removal of the stent, which my wife pulled out by tying to the front door, my ureter collapsed and I have had the same feeling as having a stone in there. Been in bed for three days eating 10/325 norco like gummy bears. This is the first I have sat and typed in three days.
Dave, hope your daughter is able to share in the Joy tomorrow.
Merry Christmas everyone and I already know what my resolution is going to be.....more beer!
