'cuz my body is falling apart, and I could only have caught it here - where most of you are falling apart too. Too bad I like you guys. Sad

I woke with the same symptoms as last year, but maybe even more intense. I woke my wife telling her up front that I thought I had another kidney stone. We dressed, headed to the car and I threw up once. We got to the hospital where I eventually threw up three more times. Unlike last year, putting pressure on my gut wasn't very helpful. It definitely didn't make the pain go away. After 7 hours and increasingly powerful medications including Toradol, Morphine and Percocet, the muscle spasms / pain FINALLY stopped. For most of that time I was pretty unhappy.

The CT scan showed that I was right: Another kidney stone. Last year I had two stones of less than 2 mm each. Today's stone was 4mm. At 5 mm, the stone will supposedly be unable to make its way to my bladder and either a sonic procedure or surgery would be required.

4 mm. Aargh. Passing it will probably be an experience.
