Well, I had my doctor's appointment this morning, and saw the stone analysis. Unfortunately, the lab didn't supply a picture. The doc said the lab they normally use always supplies one, but my insurance apparently requested they use the ghetto, no-picture-supplying lab. The doctor's office is following up with the lab, but there might not be one available.
I can, however, tell you that the stone was 80% calcium oxalate monohydrate, and 20% calcium oxalate dihydrate. He said the stones are about as hard as diamonds, and very difficult to treat. However, he did say the small stones I have "on deck" shouldn't be a problem if I incorporate diet changes (most of which I already did), and more importantly hydrate better, all the time.
Sorry it's been so long between updates, I know you people live for these.

You'd better keep a hol't of this Doc, Jed. There's not many that'll tell you to change your diet to include All-You-Can-Eat helpings of ribs 2-3 times a week during your lunch hour.Originally Posted by BigRedJed
He sounds like a good'n.

Actually, I asked him if fatty foods would impact this type of stone. He said no, but then was responsible enough to say "but you know, you really should cut back on those, anyway." I was disappointed, however, that okra is on the list of discouraged foods. Not being able to order okra will prolly cut back on my Earl's cravings.Originally Posted by Mjcpr

I'm never eating rasins again.
Oh, and I'm paying my medical bills this week. My out-of-pocket is about $2200, and the whole thing cost a little less than $20,000, so it was less than I thought it would be. But it still sucks. $2200 would buy a lot of okra.
