I made a forward pass!

I passed the stone on Sunday afternoon!

Actually, I was surprised that it had passed.

Rather, I was expecting a more momentous occasion than what it was.

Much to Ellie's disgust, I had been plugging up the sink and pissing in the sink to watch for the stone.

Well, when it came out, I helped it to back up pressure so that it could help force the urine through better. (i.e. shut off flow at the tip to build up pressure.)
(I'm sure you wanted to read this detail, no?)

The pain was bugging me so I closed my eyes and let it flow.

When I was done, I looked in the sink and found a mostly clear, crystalline "stone".

It wasn't "small", but it also wasn't too bad.

I mean, it was smaller than two mini M&Ms stacked round edge to round edge.

So that's like, 2x4 mm? or less?

Honestly, I was looking at it and at first, I didn't think that was it, so I squeezed it with my fingers really hard and it cracked.

It really looked like a piece of sugar crystal, although, I doubt it'd tasted like sugar.

Well, it continued to crack and break down, even though I was trying to view it better with my jeweler's loupe.

In summary, it passed!

This means, no surgery to remove it, and as I figured it, it was going to be small and pass on its own.

If it wasn't, then the kidney/bladder pain would've started to climb through the roof.
