Nah. I'm happily uncut.
 
At first I thought....do we REALLY need pics of this?

Then I looked, and it looks like a blurry pile of sh!t, so I guess it doesn't matter.
 
Yeah, kidney stones are a terrible pain. My wife had to drive me to the hospital. I ended it up passing it one day when I was in class at college.
 
Glad you passed it man. I have passed 3 stones in the last 15 months and I can't imagine anything worse. My last CT was clean so I hope they are gone for awhile...
 
This stone has cost my insurance company near $25,000 from 3 ER visits, 2 CTs, 1 GP and a Urologist visit. Not too mention all the lab work.


How can anyone get away with out insurance nowadays?

well assuming u don't drink water at all....
 
Drink distilled water every once in a while also. People say it strips your body of minerals and such, and others say it just strips free minerals, not what the body has absorbed. Anyway, it will keep your kidneys clean. I drink it all the time, can't stand the taste of any other water.
 
I'm not clicking on those pics, that's just nasty. Some people will have kidney stone no matter what their diet is.

I was concious when they put mine in, and the only thing that made it somewhat bearable was the fact that my bladder was close to exploding. Needing to rid yourself of over 1000cc of urine and not being able to do it is one of the worst things I have ever had happen to me.
For a point of reference, the worst you've ever had to pee, when you're on a long ass road trip and you're driving like mad, straining your eyes for a sign pointing to the next rest stop, you're usually a touch over 400cc, maybe brushing into the 500s...
Um.. yes, I was begging the nurse to jam the bic pen sized tube into my urethra :disgust:
