I didn't do it
OK - so i went to a Urologist the other day to discuss my situation. They put in a request for the CT Scan performed during the last episode just about 2 weeks back. The image shows two more stones in my left kidney - one being estimated at 6.0mm. This has the doc concerned and wants to schedule me for a Lithotrypsy outpatient procedure in order to break the stone into "gravel" so that i can pass it easier.
As for me, i am a bit of a doctor hater and am really not wanting to have the procedure done even though it may alleviate the passing of a future large stone. But the way I see it - i have a prescription of Vicadin from the prior stone (a 5.7mm stone shaped like a Rolly Polly and covered in sand granules) that did not cause me that much pain once i was properly equipped with Rx and a hot bath. I figure i can lick this 6.0.
