At least he was mostly dead.  I’m wide awake 

[A Former User]

He was wide awake when it happened. And so were you. And so am I. Eyes, heart, and 7th chakra. All suffering

[sabergirl]

Damn, Matt. I’m sorry you’re having to go through that. Hope they aren’t holding back the good stuff.

Holy shit  ??? Get well soon Matt!!

[Matt]

They sent me home with an oxy to get me through the night and I can pick up some more tomorrow.  Hopefully I can drift off now and get some sleep.  Night everyone.

Blimey…....I passed one once, the walls of the bathroom were covered in blood.  I was a little scared....

[Seul]

My mate had two, in short intervals even. First time he was driving on the highway when the pain kicked in. Apparently thàt was a lot of fun!..

Hang tight!..

[Matt]

All good this morning.  I, unfortunately, have a genetic predisposition.  Both my parents get them.  This is my fourth go around since 97.  By far the worst though.  At the end of the day Im just thankful that I have a new prescription for some rainy day narcotics.

And I was all about that 277 yesterday too.  Real glad I didn’t throw up on it.

[Matt]

Side note - hospital staff give you the weirdest looks when you  tell them they can’t bill insurance, you’re unemployed and you live in a trailer.

Good to hear you’re doing better.  The first stone I ever passed caused me to assume the fetal position, cry like a baby, and vomit because of the pain.  Then as Giles mentioned the blood is just a whole other level of stress.

I hate those little bastards!!

[Matt]

Right.  The pain induced vomiting is a wake up call.  About 70% of my body has been tattooed  and I’ve never come close to feeling pain like kidney stones.  I got stuck driving home from work years ago with one and that was traumatic.

Glad to hear my IH brothers and sisters are here for me with stories of their own.  On the bright side Katie took the girls out and I’m in bed all hopped up on goofballs eating gummy cola bottles  and watching Avengers.  Could be worse.

Overheard in the Airstream…

9 yr old:  I can’t wait to get to middle school when I might like roller coasters and get real woman body parts. 
7 yr old:  Yeah, like hips and a thorax. 
9 yr old:  No dummy, my boobs!
7 yr old:  :o

[Chris]

Points to the 7 year old for use of thorax.

Sorry about the stone, too.  I had one about 5 years ago, complete with peeing blood. Not cool.

[Matt]

They listen to a lot of podcasts.

Feeling much better today.  Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

[ROman]

Best of luck to you, I had one about 5 1/2 years ago, and to this day, it is the worst pain I have endured, which lasted about 5 days, and passed about a day before they were going to blast it out. If I knew you all better I would tell the whole story.

[Matt]

My TW-666N smell just a little bit like throw up from Thursday but I’m not quite ready to wash them yet.  They look ok so I’m going to just spend some time outside.  Don’t judge me.

[Matt]

Got out to take a short walk around the campsite today…

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Wow that's what I imagine Heaven would like if it was really real.

[Matt]

I’ve heard Arizona compared to biblical locales before.  Heaven was not one of them.
