Today, my husband passed a massive kidney stone. He is so proud of it that he wants to decorate our home with it. It is now sitting on my kitchen counter next to my produce. FML

Ok everyone. I originally posted this FML as anonymous and didn't think it would make the cut. But it looks like I got a huge response. IT IS TRUE for all of you haters. My husband has been battling with this stone since September and he FINALLY passed it (after numerous X-rays and CT scans, ER visits, and going to see a specialist). It wasn't the size of a fist (like some of you had said) but it was pretty large considering it had to come out of a tiny hole :). It is not tiny by any means!!! It's decorative life on my kitchen counter will be limited because his urologist wants to analyze it. THANK GOD! As to how he got it out of the toilet for everyone who asked: He didn't pee into his hand...gross. It came out and he reached in the toilet with a gallon sized plastic bag covering his hand so he wouldn't be soaked in piss. His urologist gave him a strainer but that was on display in my bathroom for months and I threw it out...GO FIGURE! That strainer was huge though, how was he suppose to carry it around with him to piss in? On a chain around his neck?! The stone was easy to find because his was multi-colored (brown/black, and off-white). It has spike like features which looks scary and painful. He was going to get it blasted for everyone who still doesn't believe. The procedure is $10,000....and we don't have that kind of money (I'm sure our insurance would have covered some of it). Plus the blasting is not always successful. Every time my husband thought about getting it blasted, the stone would move around (just like a baby, lol) and he would be pissing blood for days. I had fun reading everyones comments. Hopefully, I answered all of the questions. Lea, Brad, and Brad's kidney stone :)

I guess men feel the same pride for something they went through a lot of pain for, as women feel about a similar thing - babies HAHA :)

4 1/2 years ago I gave "birth" to a litter of 8 kidney stones - 2 of which happened in the Emergency Room/Waiting Room's bathroom BEFORE I was given drugs. I understand the desire to want to show it off as a trophy, but personally I couldn't care less. He shouldn't display it for everyone like a centerpiece to start conversations when family or friends come over. Keep it in a drawer in the bedroom or something.

ive seen a kidney stone practically the size of my fist The doctor said he had to surgically remove it from the guy's penis as it was clogging his pee...

I'm sure it's a very nice trailer.

We don't live in a trailer but I'd be glad to send the kidney stone to you so you can decorate yours.
