                                              I "shared" your pain.
   Did all of the above ( except the vacation part)...............pee-d and all was fine.

Never had them,stones that is had a vacation before.I do know the pain you went through as a brother has had stones for last 10 years,and in fact is going thursday for "water impulsetreatment" for the 6th time.He has new stones about every six months or so,and so much pain it even hurts to see.

Saw my dad go through them enough to know I never want any. To this day if he sees me take a rolaid he will slap me upside my head.
