OK, here I go again. I have, as any of you who get past the first line of my posts, long since proven myself incapable of "lightening up" since I started posting here, and that pattern shows no sign of altering, for the immediate future.

Today has brought home to me that there is a very fine line between life and death.

Best of luck my good thoughts and prayers are with you. You'll do just fine. Keep positive thoughts.

I was wondering, why not go up through the urethra to attack the stone? Or is this type procedure due to the location of the stone?

Thanks a lot, bud. Trying to stay positive. The procedure is apparently necessary because of the equipment needed and due to the size of the stone. I have had lithotripsies (ultrasound waves) before but they told me I might need as many as ten for this one and I said no thanks. They hurt. Peace, bro.
