Bigger than a sesame seed, heckuva lot smaller than it felt like

The pain died down a couple of hours ago -- while I was attributing that to the megadose of ibuprofen, I suspected that it might be due to the thing moving along, and so it seems to have done. Peeing through a funnel is an annoying thing to have to do, but it does provide fine closure in the form of, "Yes, the damned thing is out of your body".

Still a bit of residual achiness here and there, but I suspect that's more muscle tension than anything else. Hopefully that's the end of it, at least this time around. In the grand scheme of things, I got lucky: one day of that horror is shorter than most, far as I understand it. And I now have something to assiduously try to avoid, from here on out...

I glad it passed so quickly, and was so small! My kidney stone was the worst pain I've ever felt, so I can sympathize. And at least you could pee directly into the funnel. I had to insert a collector into the toilette and then pour my urine from that through the funnel.

Ick -- sympathies...
