humankind hiccups 😅 The Absolutely Massive Kidney Stone I passed yesterday

Post image

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.

I’m totally blind so I had an image described it to me and it was described as a currency coin on a wooden surface! 😭

The screen reader got it incorrect, i'd describe it as: The kidney stone is compared to a coin laying next to it. 25 cent coin to be precise as it says "quarter dollar". The kidney stone is about half the diameter of the coin in height, and 1/3th the width. It is a bit rectangular in shape and rough in texture.
