I had one 15 to 20 years ago, and it was very painful. No pain meds until they were sure what the problem was. It passed later in the day and was caught--was about the size of a Caraway seed. So far, no recurrence.

Wouldn’t “milestone” indicate that we all have had, or will have, a kidney stone? I’ve never had one. I’m past middle age.

Since you birthed the little guy you should get a Social Security number for him and claim him as a dependent on your income tax return

Two time 'winner' here, my self. Having the nurse pull the tube out of me a few days later was... interesting.

I had the stent left iN also
Wasn’t real happy about it and the old veteran nurse told me to quit being a baby
She said take 2 Lortabs, drink a beer and get in a hot shower
When you feel just about complety numb, pull it straight out

That was an interesting experience
Had to get a 2nd bite, with the tubing and string it must have been all the way to my neck when it was in there lol
