Went in for a "routine" kidney stone lithotripsy on 5/16. Recovery was supposed to be 2 days, no sweat. Ended up with a giant 9mmx5mm chunk stuck in my ureter. Second procedure involved things I'm uncomfortable with. Resulted in stent. Got stent removed, four hours later I had fever, chills, sick as I ever have been. Missed several days' work, lost a couple weekends. Took the last antibiotic a couple hours ago. Still not running on all 8.

Been a long month.

Damn, guy at work has issues with stones and got a stent. He was describing details of that process. Hard nope from me. Hang in there.

Have not had a stone, but I'm familiar with the procedures. Sucks hard man.
