Kidney Stones

On Thursday, Trent's back was bothering him before going to bed however he went to bed anyways and woke up a couple hours later actually in pain. Well low and behold, he passed a Kidney stone that afternoon.

Friday came around and Trent did not have any pain however passed yet another Kidney stone. The one on Thursday was larger so I assume the smaller one was passing through at the same time just did not come out at the same time.

Several months back, we were told that he had 3 stones in one kidney and either 2 or 3 stones in the other kidney (it has been a while so don't remember if there was 5 or 6 total). 2 of them being about 3mm and the rest being about 5 or 6mm. Well, by my measurements, the one he passed on Thursday was about 7mm and the one on Friday was about 4mm.

Before when Trent has had kidney stones, he has had to have procedures to bust them up and remove them so we have never seen them whole before therefore, we are a little amused with them.

IF PICTURES OF KIDNEY STONES WILL DISGUST YOU DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER.


Here are the 2 stones. The first one being Fridays measuring about 4mm and the second one being Thursdays measuring about 7mm (maybe even a little over?).


The smaller one at 4mm.



Yowzers!!! The larger one at 7mm.


YOWZERS AGAIN!!! Take a look at the 7mm one up close. No wonder the poor boy is in so much pain when he passes these things. Look at the spikeys on this thing.

Other than my poor Trentie passing Kidney stones, we have been doing great. Living life to the fullest and enjoying ourselves and time off together when we get it.

Hope everyone else has been well also.
