Stones?

This is my third round with the devils! The brainiacs (dr.’s) have yet to tell me what is the cause. The first two I passed, the third had to have ESWL (shockwave). As an electronic tech I thought, hey this could be cool. The only thing I can say about “the blast” is that though it set me back three days and I felt like *%@! for the first 2 days, I was doing something to fight back.

Yea the risks of the stone chips getting jammed made me worry, that they would break out the tube (cross your legs). but I was always worried I would end up passing out while driving or have an attack in public.

So bottom line I felt it was worth it. Better than a hot water bottle on my back. Happy trails!
