I went to the urology clinic today, where I had an ultrasound and a brief consult.

Results: the stone has moved from my right kidney almost all the way to my bladder, and it's definitely small enough that it should pass on its own pretty soon. I received an actual medical strainer with which to catch the stone (helpful, since I'd been using a fine-mesh kitchen strainer and it wasn't really feasible to take that to work) and I'm supposed to A) bring in the stone for testing once it passes and B) call the office Friday morning to report whether or not the stone has passed.

I also have a list of foods high in oxalate to avoid, which... well, some of them are easy (I don't drink beer anyway) and others I am respectfully going to ignore (you will pry my tea out of my cold, dead hands).

And I have a follow-up ultrasound scheduled for January, just to make sure my kidneys haven't decided that creating stones is a fun new habit.

Glad to hear the stones are passing without need for surgery!
