16. Good news, Bad news
The good news is that Lithotripsy ia a pretty painless procedure, the bad news is after the procedure, you have to pass the stones. The passing of the stones is the hard part. You will get a little paper strainer, and you will have to pee in it trying to strain out the stones. There is very little pain in the Lithotripsy procedure. Take the pain pills and drink lots to flush out the system. The sooner you flush the system(while on Pain Pills) the better.

It worked for me two times and did not work one time. That is when you go to the next step which has been described above incorrectly as Lithotripsy. The term I understood was basket extraction and it sucks. There is a more medical term for it but I don't recall what it is. If the Lithotripsy works and I hope it does than you will never get to this stage.
