- The stones have passed and I can go back to flying as normal.
- The stone causing problems has passed and the other two they found in the kidneys have stayed up there and I need to get a waiver for the stones and I also need periodic CT scans.
- The stones need to be removed.
I'm praying #3 is not the case.
My appointment is in an hour and a half and then I'll need to give more blood and urine samples... but otherwise I'm done.
After my appointment yesterday I stopped by the squadron and let them know what is going on with me and they instructed me on the ways of manning the ODO desk. So for almost the next month I could be doing desk work and simulators and ground events (not that I have too many of those left anyways). I'm anxious for all this to be over with very very soon.
Stupid stones.

lets hope everything comes out ok. I have a feeling you want to fly.
>can't they blast them with ultrasound?
The procedure is called Lithotripsy and, yes, they blast the stones into smaller pieces with ultrasound.
BTW - I agree with Grandma Bee. You should be happy for these stones - they brought you a beautiful, caring, loving wife to complete you.

I have heard that kidney stones are about the most painful thing you can have happen to you. I hope you feel better.
Glad to see you are doing better and congrats to you on getting such a lovely bride! I know this is a random comment but we actually met briefly when you were down in Ga and stopped by the resort. Anyways- Lala keeps me up to date with her life (and I am glad you got her on the Mac side of life). Good luck with y'alls cheese dip!
