Supposedly, it is humanly impossible to pass a kidney stone and not feel it squeeze its little way out. I am here to tell you that most of the time the aforementioned statement is true. I am the Exception To The Rule. My stone has magically disappeared from my right kidney--
**POOF!**
My doctor, not being known for his belief in magic or just simply letting things be, must come up with a new way for me to further fatten his wallet. Let's send her for an IVP (intravenous pyleogram- which is an X-ray test that can show the size, shape, and position of the urinary tract, including the kidneys and ureters. During IVP, a dye called contrast material is injected into a vein thru an IV in your arm. Then, a series of X-ray pictures is taken at timed intervals.)
And all this time I thought IVP was the Internet Vagina Posse.
THEN, because he can't stand NOT to fuck with SOMETHING... he will break up the other stones with that shock-wave ultrasound thingie.
Well, that's what the doctor thinks he will do. But, alas, I have foiled his evil plot. I told him to go take a flying leap- and when I needed him I'd come crawling back.

Sooooo....how'd ya do it?
I didn't feel mine pass much either... 1) because I was way drugged 2) I was in so much pain anyway.. I didn't know the difference!
Also, I had the IVP thing done... not much fun either... but again I was pretty drugged.
Glad you passed the stones though!
Did you murder a doctor in a previous life with an ice pick or maybe an axe?
I love you, but you have a little bit of bad doc karma. I hope the next one is a bit better!
I had an IVP in May when they were still trying to diagnose my blasted gall stones :( They thought kidney stones because I have a history of them, but my kidneys were squeaky clean. I second Meg. It wasn't pleasant.
You can also add me to the list of doctor haters.
Wow...you've had a time with doctors girl. I've never had a kidney stone...can't imagine going through that. Glad you couldn't feel it. Cheers for the milk maid!!!
Soon you'll be cruising girl! Man, I'm soooo jealous! :)
BYE BYE STONES! The milkmaid is an awefully talented and magical gal!
Milk Maid RULES!! I would've thought IVP was Internet Vaginal Posse too!! ??? Who knew?! Glad you're feeling better! :)
Well, I'm glad the stones are gone. That is one plus. I don't blame you for not wanting to do the rest of the testing stuff. I'd wait until or if a stone appeared again to do all that. Have a great trip on your cruise. When do you leave??
