The downside is it takes so long. I saw a movie once where the doctor operated and later showed the patient the vial of grit he'd removed from the kidney, and to be truthful, that's what I thought would happen for you. I'm sorry it didn't. I hope you feel much better sooner rather than later.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-76498644224237556282023-04-21T22:53:48.872-04:002023-04-21T22:53:48.872-04:00I am so sorry for the suffering you have been thro...I am so sorry for the suffering you have been through but so glad you didn’t have to do it alone.

I can only hope your new semi-aquatic urinary system flushes them quickly......I feel for you! To deal with not only the pain, but the anxiety that comes with anticipation of said pain.......is so very debilitating.
