2005-06-07 - 9:29 a.m. Kidney Stones Strike Back You may have wondered, �Hey, where the hell has Gump been?� Most likely you didn�t. But the long of the short of it is, the second Kidney Stone dropped. It dropped on Friday while I was at work. My back had been sore all day and I was trying to stretch it out, but to no avail. Then sore turned to hurt, and hurt turned to pain. And when it did that I put two and two together. Kidney Stone. The first time I waited 30 minutes after it went to pain to go to the hospital where it turned into Godzilla like pain. I.E. if Godzilla�s arm hurt there would be more pain because he�s bigger and then all of Godzilla pain is transferred NON-Proportionally to my arm. Okay. That was awful. I realized the pain was there and I left work and went home. Home was where the drugs were. I recently took a trip to Lake George in New York, and packed my pills for that, but forgot to unpack them and bring them with me to work once I got back. Figures. When I went outside, my girlfriend was there going to meet me for lunch. Surprise, I�m gonna die. She was nice and walked with me despite me telling her not to worry. When we got to the train it was there. I had to decide �run and try to make it� or �wait the 15 minutes for the next one� The Pro was the real pain hadn�t hit yet, so if I get on the train, there is less time in the really intense pain. But I have to run with a demon in my groin. If I don�t run, then I have to wait for the next one, and the pain will get worse. It will go to the next level. I choose unwisely. I ran, it hurt, and I missed the train. I dropped to the ground from pain. I went into agonizing pain. My girlfriend waited with me and we got on the train. On the walk home I almost dropped a couple times. It�s really hard to describe how much it hurts. I would say that it starts off really uncomfortable, like if you�ve ever gotten a blister underneath your fingernail. Better yet, it starts off like when your finger gets slammed in a door. Then comes the really pain that comes hard and fast and just shoots through your body. It�s not all bad. It�s kinda interesting because you can�t think of anything else. It clears the head. Then once I got home�my drugs started working and I went loopy. And everything was great. I remember watching TV and thinking �This is great!� Kidney Stones suck. | |||||||||||
