life's little surprises

It had been a pretty great vacation up to today... my time in NB had been spent roasting myself silly at the beach, trying to dodge jellyfish and horseflies. Meals consisted of local delicacies like fried clams and my dad's very great BBQ steaks, burgers, etc. He really is the cliched king fo the grill, and I am grateful for it!

I feel you pain buddy. Or rather I felt your pain. I had kidney tones and no one can describe the intense pain one experiences. When I was rushed to the emergency room, the nurse on duty said he had them once, and that they are far worse than childbirth as far as pain is concerned. Thank god for a morphine drip.
You're lucky, yours passed. When I had mine, I woke up with a catheter that had to remain in place for a week. It was very uncomfortable, and the demerol did nothing to make it disappear. Then the fateful day I went to see the urologist. He had me drop my drawers, sit on the edge of the exam table, hold on tight, and then he yanked. All I cold ee was white, and I couldn't scream in pain, because I had the wind knocked out of me. How they had so much tubing up inside me, I'll never know.

I hope you feel better soon.

wow.

Well, you certainly just made me count my blessings!!

this was my second one... last one was 8 years ago... and it was a ride in the park compared to this, but nowhere near as bad as what you describe! Eeeek!

Thanks for the empathy... and thanks always for a Bill the Cat pic: Oop Ack!

I figured his coughing up a hairball was a good image in relation to the darn stones.

I really want to meet you one of these days.

all too well, but not in the "tiny hard thing squeezing through sensitive organ" capacity. Sounds ouchy.

Most pain I've ever had... ever. Even worse than heart-ache...

My, oh my.
Something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. I understand the pain is exquisite.

... my best to your mighty urethra.
