    So... as the result of having kidney stones in the past (stone free 2+yrs), I have a urologist.

    I'm convinced that age can be marked by the number of "oligists" a person has. However, I digress.

    I have my annual appointment with Dr Pokenprod next week. It's to be a remote, Tele health phone call. Huh?

    I need to find a small, skinny phone, eh?

    :cool:

    I'd cancel it if there's no trouble.

    I hate how the Dr's keep you coming back...for follow-ups. Of course, there's always a fee. :hair:

    Well....

    Once you've had them, you don't want them back. So, I do what's suggested.

    I’ve had stones for years, I don’t see an Urologist unless I have problems. I drink and pee constantly! I’ve been stone free for one year.

    Think long and hard about them inserting a stent between your bladder and your kidney, it’s no fun.

    Yup. Lots of water, with some lemon juice helps.

    For a brief period about 15 years ago I was making them like I was giving them away as gifts. My personal record was 8 mm, NO, I didn’t pass it, they had to go in and take it. After the Dr convinced me that not drinking a 6 pack of Coke a day would stop them I listened and he was right, no more stones.
