I think the stone is on the final part of it's journey, because I'm getting periodic sharp pains in my urinary tract and feel sort of like I have a UTI but also sort of different.

Man I hope this thing passes before I get on the flight.

It's starting to occur to me that any sane person would have bagged this trip after the last 48 hours.

I'm okay. I can do this. But I'm having another attack of Jesus riding a raptor, are you fucking kidding me?

I will keep my fingers crossed for you, that it passes either before you leave, or sudden;y decides to calm down until you get off the plane and to your hotel room.

You're an admirable soul; determined. I hope the pain passes soon and you find yourself able to relax and enjoy the trip.

Good luck -- you WILL get there, and you're doing the right thing by pressing on with this.

Also, on the topic of Jesus riding dinosaurs:

The timing is really awful, but you can do it. If you stay hydrated it will help.

I will hydrate in solidarity.

In my experience you are through the worst of it, the rest is just weird (with that occasional sharp pain). You'll make it.

*gentle hugs*

Brings new meaning to 'this too shall pass' eh?

I'll be thinking good passing thoughts.

Having had two, the best advice I can give you is: push that stone downstream. Drink, drink, drink. You will be sick of water before you're through, and you will hate your bathroom for a while, but the benefit will modify some of that. :)

(((HUGS)))

Good luck!

You are a superhero. I have the photos to prove it.

Too bad you can't ride a raptor over the ocean instead of flying. It would be so much faster.

They say that it's worse than childbirth. Ow. Drink lots of water. *Sends good vibes*

If, after passing the stone, you see it open a pair of big brown eyes and gurgle “Mama!”, contact David Lynch immediately.

Ugh, I know that particular feeling all too well. Significantly increasing my water intake has proven to be a useful way to prevent this problem from coming back. In any case, I hope your actual trip is far better and easier.

I hope it passes soon enough that you can enjoy the trip.

My sister joked about giving birth to gravel and she was going to name her kidney stone... I don't know if she actually did.
