I am very glad to hear that you are well. Your remark while on medication is far more ?interesting? than the one I made under similar circumstances the first time I was taken to a hospital for stones. I remember asking, "would these be four needles in Rome?"

It has been about a year since I last had a kidney stone show up. My kidneys haven't even given me trouble in that time period. I hope you go at least as long - preferably, much longer - without any trouble.
