my dad used to get those. His were calcium-based, with all these spurs... he had some in a jar which had been taken out via surgery once. They used to put him in some kind of sonar chair (?? I was a kid, so it's a very comic-book superhero gadget kind of memory), to try to break the stones up so he could pass them.
I'm glad yours wasn't very big, but damn!!! Big enough!!
I'll be drinking and pissing right alongside you, matey... only I'm trying to avoid migraines in doing so. Nothing like the threat of excruciating, escalating pain to keep a fella devoted to this kind of regimen. Ever feel like Woyzeck?
