I'm proud to say I'm in the clear. My kidney stone has made it's exit! I thought it was just a 5mm stone, just 1mm short of being too large to pass. But the doctor told me today that it's actually a 5mm by 8mm stone leaving me with only a 10 to 20 percent change of passing it since it had to be turned just right to make it's way out. Anyways, the sucker came out this evening. Yippee!

Jim and I compared it to the 3 stones I passed in June. It's clearly over twice as big as those. Thanks for all your emails, messages and prayers. I'm thankful for my happy ending!
