WOOH-HOOH!!!!

HALLELUJAH. The stone HAS PASSED!!!!!! I won't overhelm you with too much information but Brad's 5mm stone came out yesterday afternoon! He said it just went "ploop" and there it was. No pain just the fabulous gift of a clear urinary system. Now all we have to do is find out what it's made of and adapt his lifestyle accordingly. We're wondering if the cause was the $200 worth of meat he just finished eating. He bought it from a guy who was selling frozen beef door to door. Don't ask. Brad is a sucker for anyone selling things on our doorstep. Brad filled our tiny freezer and the Truck refrigerator with multiple cuts of beef. He was so proud of himself, cooking on his George Foreman Grill while driving cross country. So (from our amateur sleuthing) it looks like no excessive meat or spinach consumption. The kidney stone analysis will tell us for sure. OH HAPPY DAY!!! His stone is quite black and lumpy, kind of like a little lava rock. Luckily not similar to the stones that look like little shards of glass all piled on top of each other. We're guessing it's made of calcium oxalate - which is the most common type.

Thank you to everybody that wished him well. It was really nice of you all.

Wooooh, what a relief for the poor guy.
