Thank-you all for the get well wishes for DH. He gets kidney stones about every two years now, but the last two times he has had bladder stones as well. This last one is giving the doctors fits. Last week they tried to explode it, but only got about 1/3. Doc says it is the hardest one he has encountered. So next Weds, they are going in with a laser and if that doesn't work they will have to cut him open. It will be the tiny cuts like for a gallbladder.
