Many years ago my father-in-law had a kidney stone removed surgically. When the surgeon came to see him the next day he said it was by far the biggest stone he had ever seen and asked if he could keep it to use in his lectures to student doctors.
I made a 'get well' card on which I drew the patient on the operating table with a crane hoisting the stone up. The caption was the surgeon saying the stone was to go in his rockery.
He kept that card until he died many years later.

I never had any kidney stones, but maybe that has to do with the fact, that I started to drink beer on a regular basis since I was 4 years old(and that's the truth)! I know that's what they treat you with when you're in a hospital in (Kidney stones) Germany, they make you drink beer, lots of beer!

I had a very small one a couple years ago. It was enough that I don't want another. It was summer time and I was drinking a lot of water. Over a couple days I drank some grapefruit juice instead of water. My urine turned black, but no pain. Then it hit about 3AM. Xray showed it was down the ureter a ways. Pain subsided and the stone worked its way out a couple weeks later.
Apparently grapefruit juice has a lot of oxalate, which is what formed the stone. I have cut back significantly on my consumption of grapefruit. A lot of foods have oxalate, but your body can also make it, so there's no need to be OCD about avoiding it in your diet, but it wouldn't hurt to cut back on the foods with the highest concentration.
Bad News: I saw one list of high oxalate foods that included beer. It probably depends strongly on what kind of beer.

I will think of you this evening when I sit in front of my fireplace enjoying my daily dose of two fingers of Glenlivet 16. My father suffered from kidney stones, but so far in my sixty seven years on this earth, they haven't bothered me. Good luck to you!

I've had and still suffer at times from kidney stones. Had surgery in the early '70s while in the army in Vietnam and have had an attack as recently as last fathers day. Painful little bastards, and luckily I've been passing them. I've been told drinking one or two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice every morning helps by making the stones rounded. Unfortunately my body seems to be a factory for these.

I quit drinking alcohol over 30 years ago, but I feel your pain! I've had my own problems with kidney stones for a couple of years now. First time was so painful that I spent 7 hours in the emergency room on morphine!

William Shatner sold one of his, perhaps a visit to eBay.....

I have never quit drinking and never had a kidney stone-no coincidence so I have just opened a bottle of Talisker and will have an extra one to toast your pain .

Even Boones Farm, Thunderbird, and Ripple are quality wines. It is just the LEVEL of quality that differs.
