      @@MiBzAn Thanks so much man. It was nuts. After the hospital we had to wait in a Shoppers forever while they got his meds (more people spotted him,) then I genuinely floored it the entire way to the show. I left Kingston about an hour before the gig was supposed to start. Pretty wild. I am also the guy that was in the back of the police car with Jim (he tells this story) often and in some other adventures of his. That was a fun a kind of crazy though. This was simply mental. Tough to see your bud in pain. Again, such a trooper!

      Never had a baby, but I've had 3 kidney stones in the last 30 years. They really suck. My 2nd one, I had forgotten what all the hospital did to cut the pain, so I figure, I don't need to go to the hospital, I can pass it at home. Long story short, after 3 days in agony so bad, I was rolling around on the bed. The pain does ebb from time to time, and you might get 20 minutes of sleep, and it's right back at it.
      So after the 3rd day, I still haven't passed it, my wife's had enough, and I ended up in the emergency room anyway.
      3rd time I just went in.

      No babies or kidney stones, but I had a groin hernia once AND had to drive a stick shift uphill to the ER. Every time I moved my leg to the clutch to shift I was stabbed with a rusty knife.

Turns out jiggling the entire body does not help the kidney stone pass more smoothly. 😅

    It is hard to describe the excruciating pain of kidney stones. It’s the only pain so intense that I could not think of anything else AT ALL but the pain. You end up pacing the house like a caged animal. You can’t stop moving because you can’t find a position that eases the pain and if you stop moving it hurts worse.
    I’ve passed several over the years. I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.

      Unless you're literally walking with your head split open and brain hanging out or are flat lining, get comfy in that waiting room..
      Typically, you're in the first waiting room for a few hours, then the next one for a few more hours. Then you get a bed and most people pass out from exhaustion from waiting by this point.. then the nurse bursts in yelling your name so you may have a heart attack to top of lf your other ailment(s). Then you wait another hour before the doctor sees you. Then you go for testing... another hour.. then wait in the waiting room for results for a few more hours, providing no one forgets to tell you your results (yeah, you lose your bed the moment they send you for tests). ER round trip takes around 12-16 hours.
      Also our Healthcare isn't "free" we pay for it with our heavily taxed everything! 😅

    Been there, done that. Unbelievable pain, made me nauseous, and peeing blood is not reassuring. Doctors told me to stay more hydrated in the future. And I am, because nobody wants to do that twice. Women are amazing, they go through that kind of pain, often more than once. Voluntarily!

    I've passed 7 kidney stones in the past 25 years and it's truly the worst pain I ever felt. It can take two or three days for the stone to pass, and during that time all you can do is lie in bed and curl up in a fetal position in bed and try your best to tolerate the waves of pain. You will find yourself pacing back and forth and sitting on the toilet trying to "push" the stone out of your body LOL. There are short periods where the pain goes away, but it always comes back until the stone passes. If you can get to an ER, then you will get relief --- mine was usually a shot of Toradol which works wonders! Morphine also works good. I discovered that drinking a lot of tea (hot or iced) usually caused my stones. I also got a stone once after eating a a lot of pepperoni as a snack food for two months straight. So there are definitely certain liquids and foods that cause the stones!

    This is a really accurate explanation. When mine moved from the bladder to the ureter, I could not stand. I could not stop vomiting. I was at work, an hour away from home. I have never made that trip faster and I checked into an emergency room. Now. If you're bleeding profusely, or have serious trauma, or you're clearly dying, they will bring you back right away. Another way to get back is to ask the nurse - hey your bathroom is out of order. Do you have a place where I can vomit? Right this way, sir, as they whisked me back with my unbuttoned pants falling down. It's up there with breaking a leg. Not quite, but it's close.
