Xray Results

  Dr. Anderson, the Urologist who referred me to do the "limited" ivp xray, called me yesterday to talk about the results.  Apparently I have a 4mm kidney stone.  Joy of joys.  He said I should have no problem passing the stone and should experience minor discomfort.  However, he said if the pain increases from what it was when I had my appointment then I need to go in for another appointment.  If everything stays the same, I won't need to see him again until after I deliver the baby.  So, kind of good news.
  I did a little research online, and I found that a 4mm kidney stone has an 80% chance of being passed without complications.  Let's just hope I don't find myself in the 20% that can't pass it without help...
