I finally made it back to the urologist yesterday. I have been waiting for 6 weeks for this appointment with great anticipation. What kind is it? What foods do I need to start eliminating? What do I need to do to prevent another one? The first question he asked me was if I took a multivitamin. "No. Well you need to start taking one. There is calcium in those but that should be OK." So I started thinking Calcium Oxalate. Oh well, that is the most common type which kind of sucks because I need to take extra calcium for my porous bones which have a tendency to break easily. Then he gave me the news......
"Well, we lost your stone in transit so I don't know what type it was." WHAT! You mean I went through all that pain and straining of my urine for nothing. I just sat there, dumbfounded, mumbling something about it being OK.
How do people lose a good size kidney stone? Don't they know the pain and expense I went through? They obviously had never had one before because if they had they would have been extra careful with mine. All these arguments and complaints were going through my head as I sat there listening to all the other advice. I am not sure but I think that I heard most of it.
What a complete disappointment. I really feel like something that belonged to me has been stolen. AUGHHH! Guess I will have to have another one.

Sorry Emily...that really sucks!
Oh dear. I think you could get away with having an "only child."
I really don't think having another would be advantageous! What if they lost it too - then you would have two lost little ones!
