Fuck kidney stones! [View all]

With a jackhammer!

I went to the doc today for lab results, stopped and picked up a couple of groceries and about an hour after getting home my right side felt like one of those wrecking balls hit me at full speed and kept at it for good measure.

Ouch. That shit hurts.

Oh, and to the nurse that wanted the urine sample.....I know you are doing your job, but the last thing I wanted to do was pee right then.
