[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 545113, member: 1365"] OK...this is just weird. They work me in for a nooner on the potential laser breakup of the “big stone”. So we go in and get checked in for the procedure, done under a general anesthesia...propofol, the good stuff. I go in and go under. I wake up and everyone is just looking at me. WHAT? So...what happened, I ask. As there a number of potential outcomes. And here it is...they didn’t find any stone up there! What? The doc looked all over with his scope thing and it just wasn’t there...anywhere. Potential explanation: last night in the ER they gave me a drug that not only was an analgesic, but also relaxed the ureters (the tube the stone was sitting in). So they say I must have passed the stone while there in the ER or later at home, etc. And they quoted a 20% likelihood that I might pas it in the next two weeks. Remember, we’re talking about a 9mm stone...larger than the diameter of a pencil...half the diameter of a US penny! OMG. How could that beast go through and out without me knowing it? Wow! So as far as that deal goes, I’m very likely done with it. Anyone who say prayer doesn’t help...they’re wrong. Thank you Lord! [/QUOTE]
