I have taken one auto trip of about 45min each way without too much trouble. Yea about the liquids but I am needing to drink a lot of water due to the stones so the two are in conflict with each other. Seemed a little better today. Maybe I'm just getting faster to the rest room. Wife will be with me-taking her to surgery in the big city. We have to stay 2 days in advance for her to get COVID tested. Too bad it's going to be 114deg. Guess we will be hunkering down in the hotel.

Yes once the improvement started in my case at least. It seemed to improve pretty steadly I remember. Your dealing with a forty five minute trip already sounds really good.

The key for me both times was waiting for the improvements to be noticeable. Your sounding good. As well as recovering faster than I would have anticipated.

Did they give you the catch screen device to capture any fragments in the urinary stream? They usually want a stone sample I believe. Or perhaps the fragments are too small for that screen to catch.After the breakup.

No screen. In the hotel now-trip was fine but I did not drink anything but some coffee along the way. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about my urination troubles by now. Seems like symptoms are a little better.

Symptoms from procedure are mostly gone and things are back to "normal". Had to go to Eugene/Springfield on the hottest part of the heatwave. Just hung out in the hotel room-too hot to go outside and pool was trashed from all the kids. When we left it was 35deg cooler.
