He had more than one?He had inserted it into a penis a year earlier...
He had more than one?
... I've just woken up and thrown up, same symptoms and nausea as before. ...
Doctors for me tomorrow, I'm fairly sure I've got kidney stones again ..
.. we bought a lemon squeezer yesterday..
...we bought a lemon squeezer and some lemons yesterday.
8 month NHS waiting list if it doesn't Shady .. unless I can raise the funds to see Dr Finch and go private again. On the plus side, the newly built Cromer surgery is practically over the road from my house and the hospital I'll be scanned at actually is over the road from that .. and my new job is very laid back compared to my last one, 5 minutes walk from my house and I have my own bathroom. I'll just have to remember to close the window when I puke so the tourists don't hear me. I've also got a secret stash of painkillers in my fridge from the last time, exactly one week's worth which I'll save for when the pain gets worse.Hope it clears up soon Swifty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Not exactly, no .. I share it with tourists .. if they're lucky.You have your own toilet? :O Cool.
Good luck buddy, I hope you can get sorted very quickly.Doctors for me tomorrow, I'm fairly sure I've got kidney stones again ..

Thanks mate .. I know you've had them as well, they're shit aren't they.Good luck buddy, I hope you can get sorted very quickly.

I believe you or another stone-martyr mentioned in an earlier post how difficult it is to describe the pain. It is one of those conditions you have to experience to “appreciate” it.Thanks mate .. I know you've had them as well, they're shit aren't they.
Not out in the camping area .. I'm supervising that until end of season with a walkie talkie. I've already sent a test transmission to the owner .. the dead have risen and are on the field I repeat the dead are eating the flesh of the living request immediate army backup over .. the groundsman said I'd obviously just looked in the mirror .. funny bastard ..LOL don't they have their own, especially as it is a posh place
I have a new found respect pain after the first time .. the Mrs had fetched me a puke bucket and each time I tried to stand up, I fell over again. I remember hearing the sound of the sweat dripping off my forehead into the bucket and it was dripping almost as fast as the snare drum in 10 15 on a Saturday Night by The Cure then they gave me gas and air so I could stand up to walk assisted to the ambulance. That stuff's a party in a bottle, I was giggling on the way to hospital.I believe you or another stone-martyr mentioned in an earlier post how difficult it is to describe the pain.

Everyone absorbs things in different amounts, Swifty gets stones; could be caused by calcium or oxalates. Other people are calcium deficient and have to take supplements. Similarly you find people can suffer from anaemia, iron deficiency, whilst a friend of mine has haemochromatosis which is iron overload. The condition led to the death of his father and he himself has a pint of blood withdrawn regularly which cannot be used due to the excessive iron count.Man, that's bad news. What on earth are you eating or drinking that keeps giving you kidney stones?! Maybe avoid that? Do the docs give you any advice to prevent them? If not, they really should.

Hope she'll be OK.Just got off the phone to a co worker/ 'my little sister' .. she's got kidney stones and is in agony .. she's got some codeine based pain killers (which she'll probably puke up if she times necking them wrong) so the 'advice from the hood' I've given her is ..
You're going to be sweating like a bastard .. find the oldest shittiest roughest bath towel you own, one that seems like starch was its best friend and throw that down on your bed .. you're back will be itching as well but this means you won't have to sit up to scratch it, you can just jiggle about on it instead plus if you piss or shit the bed, you're covered
A three speed fan .. at bed level to cool yourself down
A bucket to puke in in case you feel you won't get to the bathroom in time
A rotation of small bottles of water from the fridge with straws in case you can't handle sitting up
.. it's a case of riding it out for months until then.
Serious question: can you die of kidney stones? Or is it "just" extreme discomfort?
