The Absolutely Massive Kidney Stone I passed yesterday

[u/Bronxanator]

A let's say... interesting thing to witness come out of your body.

Edit to address some FAQs:

I am okay. Honestly I was only in severe pain one day.

Yes it hurt. Mostly when it was moving from the kidney to the bladder

I hydrate well at a minimum of 64 oz of water per day.

I had a full metabolic work up after my first kidney stone and the best the urologist could tell me was it's stress related.

I used a strainer, I didn't reach into the toilet.

Dimensions are roughly 15mm x 5 mm x 4.5mm at the thickest region.

Uhm, I think you mean Freedom??!!?? All you losers who don’t have freedom in your non-USA countries will never experience the patriotic euphoria of having to go to work so you can have healthcare while not being paid enough to afford healthcare while dying of whatever preventable disease you can’t afford to treat. 

USA! USA! USA!

I passed a 6.5mm stone at work and went back to work 5 minutes later when I had no insurance.
