Yes, the Doc described all the ‘surgical’ options if needed down the road. They would still rather I pass it naturally. Fluids are draining past the stone, so there is no imminent danger of drowning the kidney.
If neccessary, the Lithotripsy… shockwaves in a bathtub to break up the stone, would be my first choice. Beyond that it gets horribly invasive. But they still want me to pass it naturally if can…. glug… glug… glug
