@prettygood How are you doing? Did they tell you to cut on your salt consumption from now on, and all that?

@josemanuel as far as how I'm doing, pain free, pissing like a race horse, and half in the bag. As far as what they told me, nothing yet. I reported it to the 24/7 nurse by phone after last night but because in the US healthcare is A Business™ it only Actually Operates M-F so... who knows.

I gotta say I never read any correlation between salt and stones though. Calcium sure, dehydration obviously, but never salt.

@prettygood I had a friend who went through the same thing and he said they told him the whole stone was basically salt. My father had one too years ago and he loved salty food.

That said, I'm not a doctor, but I thought it was common knowledge. Maybe I'm wrong.

@josemanuel I dunno, I don't ever add salt to anything, even my own cooking (if you can cook enjoyable food without salt, that's artisan shit and I'm proud of it), so I dunno where it would come from.

@prettygood You know your condition better than me, so I'll refrain from giving advice on things I know shit about from now on. I just hope you don't have to go through that again.

And, yes, cooking tasty stuff without salt is definitely a talent.
