Well, everything is over. Surgery was a success and the last stent was removed Wednesday. A day or relaxing (as best I could) and today I managed to do a little work. I even hovered my r/c helicopter. It's been awhile since I enjoyed any hobbies. Overall, I would say, if you can avoid getting a kidney stone, do it! It is NOT a fun process. Mine was due to a medication according to the doctor.
