Tm 51 I hope you get to feeling better soon I never had a kidney stone but in early 73 I spent a few agonizing weeks, partially while on TDY in an un-nameable country and partially in the Brooke Army Medical center while the stethoscope guys tried to figure out if they were going to remove the Gall bladder and part of the stomach along with possibly some length of intestine from a guy not quite 20 years old. They were pretty sure they had killed off the parasite I had acquired when large stringy chuncks ot it started being passed in my stool. Finally they got me on a bland and I mean bland baby food type diet of mostly mashed potatoes but the inflammation in my gall bladder had them worried, But not so worried as to keep them from releasing me to limited duty as long as I promised to take my meds and return each few days for tests. I never took 1 single pill after walking out of the hospital and the rest of that story is I never went back for any more tests. The very first thing I did upon leaving eas to seek out the first gut truck where I bought his entire stock of Jalapeno peppers a fountain drink and a bag of chips, KILL or CURE I thought, and to this day I have never had a single pain anywhere in my gastro region except for one time when I got food poisoning while in Spain in 2011, and the only other time I have even been to a DR since then was in Kuwait when they installed a stint in my LAD because scar tissue from a piece of missed shrapnel had remained hidden there since 1973 as well, it wasn't until 2012 when the tissue had finally managed to close enough of the artery to give me problems
