recovered, the questions of permanent disability and disfigurement were left open. There was no appeal from this award.
On February 15, 1959 claimant returned to light work. On March 12, 1959 a further examination at Columbia disclosed that he had a kidney stone blocking the left ureter. He was hospitalized and the stone removed. Complications followed this surgery necessitating rehospitalization on two subsequent occasions during the spring. Claimant was disabled by reason of this kidney condition from March 11, 1959 until he returned to his former employment on August 3, 1959.
During the fall of 1959 hearings were held to determine what compensation should be awarded on account of the ruptured disc and whether compensation should be allowed for the disability and hospitalization resulting from the removal of the kidneyand carrier to the Circuit Court, the Judge concluded that the full Commission was without authority to increase the amount fixed for disfigurement inasmuch as the claimant did not appeal from the award made by the hearing Commissioner. Accordingly, he set aside the award of $1,500.00 for disfigurement made by the full Commission and reinstated that made by the hearing Commissioner. In all other respects, the award of the full Commission was affirmed.
From the order of the Circuit Court, both parties have appealed. By appropriate exceptions the employer and carrier contend that there was no causal connection between the formation of the kidney stone and the injury sustained by claimant on May 5, 1958 and, therefore, the Industrial Commission erred in making any allowance for hospitalization and disability
