The Internet is Eating Me

No, I'm serious, it is.
Kidney Stoned, Day 24
My urologist looked at another x-ray and determined my super-stone hadn’t moved significantly. Looking over all the options, he said our best course of action was to laser it out. 
We’re going show this stone the power of a fully armed and operational battle station…er, hospital laser surgery center.
The real bad news? I have to have a stent in my ureter for ten days after the procedure. That’s a whole week AND during the conference I have to go to on the 23rd. 
Then, they pull it out. The same way it goes in.
Yes, through there. 
I’ll give you a minute to stop shuddering.
