went to the hospital this morning, had my x-ray done, completed my review and gotten the results.
yup, the stone that was blasted seemed to have completely exited from the system. of cos, the doctor qualified that there was however, the possibility that small fragments could have stayed and i would still need to drink lots of water. as for the other 2 stones (one in each kidney), the doctor could only say he saw the one of the right, whereas the one on the left was not so obvious. the advice given was the same - to drink lots of water and to return once there is any discomfort.
to review again in a year's time.

Hi Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the check-up went well.
Talked with my middle brother today and asked how his kidney stones are, and no discomfort. He did admit his urine is running darker, but he blames that on his cholesterol medicine. He is very active and I suspect he doesn't want to drink enough water to stay hydrated since some people might think he is an "old man" who needs to go to the bathroom too often. I asked but he denied: his kidneys.
Best wishes, Edwin
