Kidney Stones

Oh great, my first day of blogging and I get something actually worth mentioning. I make kidney stones on a two to three year cycle. Guess who has now got the stabbing side pain, the burning line down to the knife in the testicle. And this is not the renal colic, just the reminder that it is likely to fire up at any moment.
I am told this colic is the only time men feel what women feel in childbirth. Well I have stood beside my late wife and my present wife as they gave birth and admired them. Even more so as I know what they felt. No wonder I head for hospital as soon as possible, where I usually get a shot of pethidine or similar, immediately that the real colic kicks in. At the moment a mixture of vodka and synflex (given to me for regular pain after a third of my intestine was ripped out in an emergency operation as my blood flowed out my rear) and concentration on the computer is holding me in bearable pain but I may be heading to Mount E soon.
