C-store point of sale systems are equivalent to the Federation Starfleet virus that created Hugh.

I don't know what that is, but sweet Star Trek reference.

Really? Wait til they dig in with their teeth like Tyson did to Holem's ear!
You have my regards either way. All you can do is grin and bear it until the ride is over. Meanwhile...."Olive Oil." A tablespoon every 4 to 6 hours. That's just my suggestion to help ya out.

There is this stuff called Azo that I plan on taking after the procedure to help with that. I think it's supposed to numb the urinary tract.

Yeah, I lost an entire summer to Skyrim once... now I can play a quest or two and take a step back.

Recently my family has been trying to get me to play WoW which I was initially resistant to bc Iโ€™m not a fan of PC games but Iโ€™m starting to enjoy it.

WoW is great i'm sure, though i'll probably never find out because I am not fond of purely multiplayer games. Also I hear it can be super addictive too...

the only time I really enjoyed multiplayer was playing Modern Warfare 2, I think it was a really nice easy to pick up FPS multiplayer. But people kept using the dumb exploits and the last time I logged onto it people were hacking the bejesus out of it. I played a round where a guy's sprite just kept spinning 360 degrees the whole time, firing non stop, and was invisible. I don't get how someone does that and has fun.

So, a litotripsy on Wednesday.

Nice!

When I think of this procedure, I think of the first 30 seconds of the following -

I called the clinic where its going to happen and the lady described it as being punched in the kidney by mike tyson 1000 times.

I would recommend that you pass them naturally if you can.

The only time they suggest surgery is if they're too big to pass.

I think there are times when they let the patient choose (but, there's no sense in that considering emotions driven with pain).

Kidneys will heal but there's no sense in having them un-necessarily opened.

Busted in smaller pieces by using sound....?

I am a wuss when it comes to pain anticipation. The urologist said I could either try to let it pass on its own, or get a lithotripsy, which is when they break it up with shockwaves, which isn't a delicate procedure either. 6mm is right over the threshold of whether it will pass on its own without diffculty, so there is a chance I can't pass it, and that's not a chance I want to take.

I told the urologist, whatever will cause me the least pain. So a litotripsy on Wednesday ๐Ÿ˜…

I once had this motorcycle - it was a Honda Rebel 350 street bike.
Anyway, there was a specific summer where I was vehicle poor and the only thing I had was this motorcycle to get back and forth to work on. I would ride this bike 100 miles round trip every day until I got the money to fix my truck.
The bike had a nice seat - meant to fit a fata$$ such as mine but the front on the bike was light and I had to beard down on the handle bars while going around high-speed curves.
Day in and day out, every day. And then it happened. The lower back aches started to creep in and got worse during the nights.
Ever hear a grown man cry in the middle of the night?
Went to the doctor. Apparently, the vibration from riding the bike had loosened several kidney stones and they began to travel.
I was lucky (or so I was told) that the stones were small enough for me to pass them through.
I didn't know much about such things, but I got enough of the drift to know that meant I was gonna shoot'em outta my pi$$hole.
Yeah. It hurts.

I got a scan today, it's definitely a stone. 6 mm. Oddly enough don't have any pain at this moment. But I can kinda feel the stone there, not sure if that is psychosomatic or what.

Phew ain't gonna fun when the pain really starts to kick in. they already got me a urologist appointment for today to assess my options.
