That's One Honkin' Bladder Stone


Boy, I'm glad I'm not hauling this monster around anymore. Dr. Johnson said this stone took up half my bladder and 10 percent of my body weight. Whew! Who knew uric acid could crystalize into a stone weighing nearly a pound!


We didn't have a baseball to compare, but this shows the bladder stone is larger than a tennis ball. Dr. Johnson had a hard time maneuvering the stone out of the shell opening because it's not totally smooth. It's funny, but the camera's face recognition technology zoomed in on these three dark spots. Smile, bladder stone, smile!
