Good advice on the stones. I had lithotripsy done a couple days after we got home and have passed most of the one on the left side since the trip. It was scheduled before the trip. I have a couple on the right side that are gonna get it next. The two times I ended up in ER I was unable to pass anything. They do have better drugs though. My pain comes from the kidneys before the stone has dropped into any of the plumbing. The pressure builds up and then they'll shift a little and the pressure is relieved. I had one 30 years ago removed by surgery and went this long without any troubles. I'm hoping the lithotripsy will fix me up for another 30 years.
