Yup, I had the same experience, I told the Dr. , next time I was going to bite him. Stones are miserable. How can one family have so many stones? My aunt had them, hubby's dad had them, hubby and daughter and I have them, and so does son in law. Together, we all own a hospital. Each time, it's over 30,000$ dollars. We have been wiped out for our medical funds, many times. O'bama did a very good thing with his program. We all now have insurance, that we couldn't get in the past. It's really not our fault, it's our inherited genes. We all have a form of kidney disease. We follow a diet, but the urologist says we will get stones every 7 years, no matter what.
