Update on my stone (aka Vernon).

I went to the urologist this morning and he doesn't know why I had the stone yet.  They need to analyze it first and that will take time.  He told me that I now have a 50/50 chance of having another one though.  Great.  Also, these things run in the family.  So...I called my brother and gave him that cheerful news.  The Dr. is not certain that everything has "passed" so I'm getting another xray done with "contrast" this time (heck...pump some dye in me...I'm still trying to get over the vicodin).  We'll see.  I still have a little pain on my side and I sort of feel like I layed an egg.

Also...in case you didn't know this...DO NOT iron anything while you're on vicodin.  I have a serious burn on my arm from the iron and it looks like hell.  I'm trying to keep it clean but it doesn't look good.  I know that people generally think they can iron anything while on vicodin but FIGHT THAT URGE!  Your health is in the balance!
