Oy – kidney stones! My husband gets ‘em. The last one was The Mother of All Kidney Stones. It required a stent, and three lithotripsies, and wound up costing our insurance company $65,000. (My mother-in-law had brain surgery for less than that.) Then, miracle of miracles, as soon as they removed the stent he passed the stone. I haven’t been to med school, but I was able to figure out that it’s hard to pass a stone when you have a piece of plastic shoved into your urethra. Anyway, hope Dan’s experience is NOTHING LIKE that . . .
