My experience with kidney stones…
One of the worst, my crippling pains I have ever felt.
The pain literally moves, and as it gets closer to your dick, it gets worse.
When I finally passed 3 stones, my legs gave out and I fell to the ground.
Once the stones come out, the pain was completely gone, just felt really sore and tired.
Stones looked like a grain of rice. [/quote]
Just reading that made me wince
So kidney stones get passed through the dick?
hmm

So, from the kidney, where would you think they possibly could go?

I always thought they were fired from the kidney straight through the bladder and out of the front of the body like a bullet from pure air pressure, in a glorious firework display of blood, piss and bile.

You thought you had a reservoir of pressurized air in your kidneys?

You underestimate the efficiency of my Valsalva maneuver.

Thats to pop your ear tubes!
It goes upwards, not downwards!
You guys are on a bodybuilding website and you could not find your gluteus with a map and a compass!
<----- dissapoint.

It depends entirely on practice, kind of like those people that can both suck in and fire ping pong balls out of their “undercover orifices”. And besides, tell those people with severe constipation to breathe normally.
You think I don’t know my biceptazoids from my trapicepts? How very, very dare you!
(You foiled me and this is my rather anti-climactic way out, you win this one you silver-tongued devil…)

My wife’s labour was hard, fast and traumatic as hell. Big kid (9lbs 6oz), small woman (not going to post her stats), no drugs (it happened too fast) and lots of unpleasantness (I won’t detail it here in the interest of respecting her privacy). I am not a squeamish guy at all and I come from a family that carries their pain well, but that was freakin’ hardcore. I would not wish it on anyone (well, maybe almost no one).
That said, to say that she “handled” it would be inaccurate IMO and I think she would agree. She is an extremely tough lady with a well above average tolerance for pain but she did not handle it. I’m not sure anyone could. She survived it because she had no choice. Had it been a voluntary exercise just to see if she could get through it, she would absolutely have pulled the plug way early on, and who could blame her?
She doesn’t make a big deal out of it at all. She doesn’t really see it as something that she intentionally “did” per se, and so doesn’t take an excessive amount of personal pride in it or hold it over anyone’s head. She also makes no bones about the fact that it sucked. Hard. I expect she sees it very much the way you two ladies do.

How are her health problems, if you don’t mind me asking?
[/quote]
I don’t mind at all, it’s very kind of you to ask. Treatment finished back in Feb. First mammogram on the remaining breast came back clear. The worst part now is the lingering fatigue. Her energy levels just aren’t coming back at all yet and her digestive tract is still recovering from the inflammation caused by chemo and all the antibiotics.
It doesn’t sound like a big deal when you say it, but that level of unrelenting fatigue sustained for a year has a real impact on your quality of life. It’s especially challenging to try to care for a very energetic 3 year old when you are barely physically able get out of bed.
Apparently what she’s experiencing is totally normal given her course of treatment, but I don’t think either of us expected it. I’m really looking forward to seeing her regain a bit of vitality so she can start getting a little more active enjoying her life a bit more, but one day at a time I guess…

Man, that does sound rough. Long term fatigue has to be a nightmare.
On the other hand, I’m happy to hear that it sounds like she’s back on the road to healthy.
None of this could have been easy for you, either.
Hopefully, it only gets better from here.
Good thoughts to you and your family.[/quote]
Thanks for the kind thoughts and words. It’s been a long road and there’s still a ways to go.
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m grateful for the experience, it has forced me to grow and adapt as a person and helped me to understand what’s important in life. Never take anyone or anything for granted my friend. It sounds trite, but you really just never know…[/quote]
batman your wife and family are truly blessed to have someone as honorable, selfless and wise as you are to support them. And this site is a far better place for your participation in it. You are one of only a handful of my must-read posters.
I don’t think I’ve ever told you this before, but I think it nearly every time you post. So thanks and don’t go anywhere. [/quote]
Its cause he is Batman
