Things I'd rather do than pass a kidney stone...
I've been sitting in pain all day.. 12 hours to be exact... some excruciating enough to make me scream at the top of my lungs for 20 minutes straight. During these 12 hours I have compiled a list of things I'd rather do than pass a kidney stone.... (btw the stone isnt even out yet.)

1. Give birth to a baby out out my ass
2. Break a limb
3. Starve for 40 days
4. Get butt-raped by anything
5. Get shot ANYWHERE
6. Undergo ANY surgery (including root canal)
7. Remove a testicle
8. Not have sex for 4 years
9. Have SARS
10. Be poisoned
11. Get beat up by Mike Tyson
12. Suck poison out of someone's you-know-what
13. Fall off a 3 story building
14. Die
15. Convert to any religion for a year
16. Drink Mexico water
17. Lick any orifice anywhere on anything
18. Be molested by Michael Jackson / Priest / Hannity / O'Reilly
19. Cut myself and then give myself stitches with no anesthetic
20. 10 cainings in Singapore
21. Baseball bat to the head
22. Have my apartment burn down
23. Car stolen
24. Get pepper-sprayed and shot with rubber bullets by Florida PD
25. Be in a coma for 4 years
26. Spend a week in GITMO
27. Be a jizz mopper for a month
28. Pierce my johnson
29. Live in a cave for a year
30. Solitary confinement for a week


Or worst of all, to avoid having this kidney stone- I would become a republican.


(Yes I went to the hospital - no they didnt remove it for me)

1. It's the worst.. period.
i went through this two years ago. uninsured of course, the first couple of times i just toughed it out, i have a very high pain tolerance. then i finally hit the ER, and of course it took six fucking hours for them to kill my pain, at a cost of 3 grand. then when it hit again i drank some southern comfort, which made it better, but i threw up because i don't drink. finally had to go in because my kidney was blocked.. 12 grand later i was stone-free.


there really is no way to describe it.. it's just friggin horrible.. i feel your pain.:cry:

4. I Pass Stones Every 30-45 DAYS
I would MUCH rather have a stone than the kidney infection I currently have. Makes a stone feel like a love tap in comparison. ARGH!

(Feel better soon)

5. been there
had over 18 of them. Surgery 3 times . I have two right now that will break free when they feel like it.

I have m.s., but nothing compares to kidney stone pain. I have begged to be shot. They thought I was kidding, but they were not sitting in the emergency room for 6 hours waiting.

6. OUCH
My old boss used to get them all the time, he said something about a new technique to get rid of them. He just wished he had known about years ago.
