Subject: RE: BS: Taking the fun out of surgery
I have to echo Mickey191: Kidney stone!
The third time I had one, I learned something about language, though. (No, not cussing).
You've heard about "rolling on the floor in pain"? It's not just a figure of speech. When the whole thing came to a head, I lay down on the living room floor and rolled as far as I could in one direction, then immediately in the other direction. Then back.
As long as I was actually rolling it was a little better, but at the end of the roll, switching back, the pain would flood back.
Then suddenly I realized I'd stopped. The stone had passed, I guess, and I instantly went to sleep there on the floor.
Thank God, that was about 30 years ago, and no further recurrence.
