• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

SOH-CM-2023
Had to get up around 5am to visit the porcelain appliance, and after my visit was floored (literally) by searing pain in my back. After a few minutes I was able to get up, but the pain was still quite...well...painful; like nothing I have ever experienced. Managed to somehow get dressed, but knew I would be unable to drive to the ER. Had to call the local paramedics to give me a lift to the hospital. After talking with the Dr, he sent me to have a quick CAT scan.

You may already have guessed the result. Kidney stone (4mm) decided to make its presence known. So now I get to urinate into a filter for a couple of days until the stone passes. The doc also wrote a prescription for some nice painkillers (although I haven't had to use them....yet. The pain stopped when I got to the ER).

Gives me a chance to catch up on some flying I guess, although if I take the pain meds, I may end up Panthering too much.
 
I feel your pain.

I've had into the double-digits since 1972, forgot since it's been so many.

Take a PK and do as I'm doing, pulling the rug over me for this day, glad it's about passed.

Been there, done that, didn't enjoy it very much! :isadizzy:

Kidney stones are known to be one of the most painful experiences to suffer and rank alongside giving birth and broken ribs (had those too...twice).

When I finally passed mine it was the size and shape of half a split yellow pea but it felt like I was passing a basketball at the time!

Good luck and may the 'force' be with you (so you can blast that sucker out of there as quickly as possible!)
