One of the worst days (and nights) of my life.
There was NO blasting, just slow and painful passing.

Thoughts for a speedy "process" and an excellent outcome.  |

My BIL got blasted today too. Didn’t get it all the first time about a month-/+ ago. Hope you have a seamless procedure!

I know your pain too well. I passed this 20mm long by 14mm wide naturally a couple years ago. It took 7 days after it reached my bladder to pass it. I took it to my urologist and he actually said Damn that's the largest one I have ever seen passed the old fashioned way. I wanted to keep it as a trophy so to speak but that's not allowed I guess. It's twin is in my right kidney and they say it should never move but if it does I think I will have it blasted. Good luck with your procedure.  |

Amazing how big it was beside the Dime. When I finally passed it my eyes were probably as big as a Silver Dollar.  |

Yeowch, hope the blasting takes cares of it! Had a kidney stone ~20 years ago, passed the old fashioned way but never found it (Them?).
My recent 2 month stay in the hospital adventure started out with what I thought was another kidney stone but turned out to be gall stones that had worked their way into my bile ducts... Fun times, fun times...
Good luck!

“When I finally passed it my eyes were probably as big as a Silver Dollar.” I’m sure they were. My wife had kidney stone issues a few years back. I think she has ended up passing 4 or 5 over the years. I know how painful they were for her, and none were even close to that size. We did end up scooping some out of the toilet and saving them. But I think she finally tossed them. That boulder of yours needs one of those plastic cases like they put a Babe Ruth signed baseball in.  I have no idea how you passed that monster. |

If I had any idea they were going to keep it I wouldn't have taken it. A picture is worth a Thousand words or the actual stone in my case.  In Forrest Gumps voice Kidney Stones are horrible and that's all I have to say about that.  |

If it's twin ever starts to move I am going for the Blasting method also. Hope everything went well with your procedure. |

My wife had a kidney stone blasted and removed. Came home after the procedure. The next day I came home from work and she had a high fever and felt terrible. Took her to the ER and the procedure caused her to develop sepsis. A week in the hospital, then a couple of weeks of IV antibiotics at home.
If you develop a fever, get back to the hospital ASAP.

The Doc started me on Ciprofloxacin anti botic. Hopefully that will prevent infection. |
