Actually I was asleep for the actual procedure. When I woke up it was all over
but the paperwork. I was advised that I might have a sizable bruise in the area
where they had directed the sound waves ... but, there was not even any
reddening of the skin. I was also advised to expect blood in my urine ... and
that has decreased since the stone is not agitating the stent - I think that is
the reason, anyway.

The stent is 2mm in diameter - so it should come out with relative ease.
They're pretty good at this sort of thing these days. In the instruction
sheet(s) I was given on release it says to drink a gallon of fluids a day ...
so I asked if I was supposed to decrease my intake to meet this "goal".  Bv)=

I do keep well hydrated as a matter of routine.

      Title: Peach Crumble Pie
 Categories: Pies, Fruits, Desserts, Pastry
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1    Pie Shell

MMMMM-----------------------CRUMB TOPPING----------------------------
    1/2 c  Butter
    1/2 c  Light brown sugar
  1 1/4 c  All-purpose flour

MMMMM-----------------------PEACH FILLING----------------------------
  2 1/2 lb Ripe freestone peaches
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 tb Flour
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
      1 ts Fine grated lemon zest
 
  PREPARE AND REFRIGERATE pie shell.

  For the crumb topping: Melt butter and stir in brown sugar evenly.
  Stir in flour, then allow to rest 5 minutes. Break up into large
  crumbs using fingertips.

  Preheat oven to 350øF. Set a rack in the lowest level of the oven.
  Cut a cross in the blossom end of each peach and plunge them a
  couple at a time into a pan of boiling water for about 30 seconds.
  Remove to a bowl of cold water and slip off skins. If peaches are
  ripe, skins will slip off easily. If not, touch up with a paring
  knife. Halve and pit peaches, then cut each half in 5 or 6 wedges.

  Place peaches in a bowl and sprinkle with remaining filling
  ingredients, toss well to coat and pour into pie shell. Sprinkle
  crumbs evenly over filling and bake about 30-to-40 minutes, until
  filling is bubbling and crumbs appear well colored.

  Cool on a rack and serve lukewarm or at room temperature.
