Pain...pain....and more pain...

I have, in my lifetime, had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled simultaneously. I was struck by a pickup truck when I was 19 y/o on my motorcycle, collapsing my lungs, breaking both legs, numerous ribs and arm bones...etc.

And I married a women who has insidiously placed me in pain for nearly 40 years....just for the fun of it.

But I developed my first kidney stone this past week, and it is giving me so much pain I've had to go to the emergency room to get a shot of happy juice just to survive it....DAMN, I HAVE NEVER FELT SO MUCH PAIN AS FROM THIS KIDNEY STONE.

If you've ever had one...you have my sincerest sympathy...

p.s. As I'm writing this post, tears are pouring down my cheeks...ouch...ohhhh...ouch ouch....

Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear you starting the new year this way. At least you've bottomed out already--it can only go up from here.

All my sympathy,
Jake

ouch

I feel for you my friend, unless they ultrasound you there's only one way and one size that's coming out

Had a CAT scan...it's moving down the ureters nicely...should only have to suffer for another few days before it hits the bladder. Wife went with me to the doctor today and I asked him, "Would having lots of sex help pass this thing any?"

Doctor grinning said, "It couldn't hurt."

Wife: "Guess you are just going to have to suffer honey..."

Just took 2 hydrocodone....ahhhh....

Good drugs always help.

Hang in there, Rich - you have a lot of people here pulling for you.

Does she mean suffer with the sex, or with the kidney stone?

Hang in there, Rich. We're rooting for you.

Hey, it's not life threatening...just hurts like hell. And she meant stone...

Woah, woah, woah. Speak for yourself, I'm not pulling anything for him; especially given recent conversation!

I do wish you a speedy recovery though .

Oh boy...oh boy...ever stand in front of the toilet and see a rock the size of Gibraltar come out of the end of your....well it happened this morning. Back pain is entirely gone. No more red urine. Just clear satisfying, crystal pure water almost good enough to drink (if it weren't for the urea).

To every man who has ever suffered from a kidney stone (renal calculi) I salute you!

To every man who has never had one...I hope you never do!

I'm cured! I'm cured! To properly visualize these last two exclamations, imagine almost 60 year old man, physical characteristics of Santa Clause (minus the beard), dressed only in a scragly old t-shirt...running around in the living room, flopping dangerously in front of his wife who is prim and proper, hollering out, "I'm cured, I'm cured." Does that destroy your appetite for today?

Probably way more than I needed to know, but glad to hear you've.......eliminated the problem.

Not the rock of Gibraltar, surely?

After all this pain, now you'll have to contend with the Spanish blockading your channel, creating queues at your borders and surveying your marine life.

So glad I'm not you!

Most people are...

haha. I'm pleased that you're feeling better though. They are a... unforgettable experience.

At our age that's the only way we get stoned . . .
