It's Nearing The End, We're Just Not There Yet

My plan to stop taking Percocet by today has not come to pass (though I am taking less) because I am passing lost of crap left over from when the stent was zipped out of me.
If you've ever made rock candy you have an idea of why there's so much "debris" left in there. It was gathering on the outside of the "loops" on either end of the stent (to keep it anchored in the kidney & bladder) - I saw it when the doc ripped it out of me.
Dad always thought the stent was just a little tiny thing with a string on it hanging out in my bladder, I asked the doc to show my Dad (calling him back into the room when it was out - I didn't want him to witness the actual event) and as I thought he was surprised by how long a stent actually is.
There was stone debris all over each end, so I knew right then that I'd be passing stuff, but I thought it would only be for a day, maybe two, but now we're 3 days out and it's still pouring out of me.

Most of it is hardly noticeable, but there have been two "chips" that have left a lasting impression of their escape.

Hopefully today is it and I have taken my last Perc, but as long as this crap keeps coming (especially the bigger "chips") I'm glad I still have some around, but it's eating into my stock in case of my next stone(s).
