He went on to describe how, after a more thorough review of my x-rays he thinks that it looks like I did recently pass a kidney stone ... things look a bit dilated ... and that there's another small ... three millimetres ... stone in my left kidney.

If it were larger we'd probably have to do something about it. So if it moves I just have to put up with the excrutiating pain, I wondered.

You'd be jolly unlucky if this one came down too. We'll just keep an eye on it, and maybe run some chemistry.

We made a date for May - no need to rush - and he rang off.

It's been a pleasure. I'll get my secretary to write a you a letter. Goodbye!
