I donated blood today, got home, and immediately peed out more silt from my kidney stones.

Unless there's some weird medical connection, I am being rewarded by having the goddamn things come out as dust. My back had been giving me Hell for about a week.

Can you get them pulverized with ultrasound?

[harvey_rrit]

I've heard of that, but got blank looks when I mentioned it.

They let you donate, with your medical problems? I can't, having spent six months or so in Europe after 1980, although I haven't come down with mad cow disease yet.

[wombat_socho]

Me either.

[harvey_rrit]

Oh HALE yes. My mitochondria store calcium phosphate! I tell 'em to give the blood to people with compound fractures.

A USian friend now resident here had these issues and the good ol' NHS used the ultrasound to great effect.

[fallconsmate]

ow! the only good i can see in that is that they're leaving your body. :/

[harvey_rrit]

Well, they're leaving as powder whose particles are of negligible diameter, whereas they could be leaving my body displaying solidarity....
