VN :>     Renal calculi - probably one stuck halfway, I may lose
VN :>a kidney.  We will know more next week.
Yikes!  I didn't have any idea it is so bad!  Has anyone mentioned 
ultrasounding the calculi?  I've heard it's an option for gall stones....
VN :>     I think I am gonna have to take an office job to stay
VN :>hydrated enough to avoid this.  Working on my living wills,
VN :>durable power of attorney, etc. this week.  I may be
VN :>over-reacting but I've seen kidney failure and I don't like
VN :>it.
A note of optimism here, Vic.  There are numerous people leading healthy, 
happy, productive lives @ith one kidney.  Your preparation is something all 
of us should do...but don't make yourself too crazy.  Let me hear ho@ you are 
as soon and as often as you can!  Alph, Mike and I send our best!
Meg
