WEST PALM BEACH
a 53 yo ex dentist delivered a 1lb 3 oz lyme green kidney stone yesterday.
this was the first time in history a kidney stone was lyme in color. after 20 hours of excruiating labor the stone was delivered at 10:00 est Feb 22,2007.
the stone was taken to O'tooles Tavern and is now a shrine for many Irishman. People have been coming from all over the country to "KISS THE LYMIE STONE"
the man went thru a painful ordeal and afterwards was intervued as saying," IT IS MUCH EASIER TO REMOVE A TOOTH THAN TO HAVE A KIDNEY STONE" He also said i'm now ready to deliver a child.
some facts have been expoded to make the text more enjoyable.

pain stopped last night and it is down very low, it will probably pass it self.
unforunately i get these every several years but it was such a terrible timing issue, when trying to sell a house.

Talk about your blarney! I knew the stone couldn't be that big, but as a public service for Lyme awareness, it would really help if you could pass a big one to put on display! Make those other stones green with envy!
Decades ago I wrote an article about lithotripsy (sound waves) being used to dissolve stones, but that approach seemed to become less popular. I rarely hear about it anymore.
I guess if they think the stone will pass by itself, that's the best way.
Acorn, love the squirrel photo. I should display it here in San Diego given all the border issues and talk.

Acorn, my littlest lymie cracked up at your latest photo.
...sportin' my new gold tooth, Nancy
