    Going into the hospital for lithotropy this morning

    Can't take the Mustang because the insurance says it can't be parked outside and left to the elements.
    Gonna get my 1/2" kidney stone blasted.  Hoping for no collateral damage.  Wish me luck!  Should be out for lunch if nothing goes wrong.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    You'll be fine today, tomorrow might be another story.  My wife and I both went through this.  The discomfort for the 48 hours as you pass the gravel afterwards is normal, so don't get nervous about it.  Hope they can blast it to powder.

    Ooouuuch!!!!!!! Been there done that 5 times. The lithotripsy worked on 3 and they had to fetch the other 2.  Doooo NOT want anymore. It has been 5 years and I think I am due again soon.
    Hang in there! I will be praying for a short and painless recovery.

    All dark sodas and particularly black tea and iced tea are verboten.  Drink a lot more water.  Those of us who have had the joy of stones fear them more than a broken bone.

    Hard tobelieve that some of those smaller stones  can caus the intense pain associated with them, I thought i was surely going to die when I got them. Under a magnifying glass they look like a medievil torture devise.
