Kidney stone?

I have chronic kidney disease, and recently, I had a stent inserted into my iliac vein. I’ve been experiencing lower back, flank, and pelvic pain. A few days ago, I noticed something in my toilet after using the restroom. I always flush before peeing, so I was surprised to see it. Yesterday, I saw a smaller one. I tried to grab it, but it sank into the bowl. What on earth is this? My first thought is that it could be a kidney stone that has softened. Anyone have a similar experience?

How much should I offer for this 2025 Sorento?

I definitely will not have an APR of 7.99%. My current rate is 2.9% on a Mazda CX-50.

Good fit for me?

I just recently purchased a PS5, and I’m contemplating a PS Portal because I enjoy being able to play in increments due to parenting responsibilities. I plan on using it for remote play at home only. I was also considering a Switch 2 for this very reason. Is this a good use case for it? I’ve always wondered why people purchased the PS Portal, but I kinda get it now.

The first test was in March. The second test was a few days ago. I’ve not changed my diet. I’ve also been increasing my fluid intake. My diabetes is steady at 6.8 A1c. My RBC was slightly elevated. Anyone have this happen to them? When I started Jardiance, it dropped a tad and then normalized to my baseline.
