What the.......stone?


Geez, it would stink to be a man! Could you imagine trying to give birth through your "you know what"? Well, seems my man thought he was! Oh, the indignities! Oh, the inhumanity! He had a kidney stone about the size of a pea (1 c.m.) which was trying to come through the "tube" but blocked the tube off instead. The doctor had to put in a stint (small tube that looked like rigid electrical wire about 15" long with hoops on each end). Yep, you guessed it - up through "there", pushing the stone back up into the kidney. Once we knew the kidney was working again (one week later), the doctor went in and blasted it with a laser and took the larger pieces out. About three days later, the stint was removed. Oh, my heck! Randy was brave boy and is feeling much better now!
