The most painfull part is getting it from your kidneys to your bladder. The tubes connecting those are really thin, so think watermelon pushed through a garden hose. A scratchy cement watermelon through a garden hose. The urethra that goes from bladder to the outside is much wider, so it's nowhere near as painful once it gets to your bladder. Last two times I had stones, I didn't even notice it passing out when I peed (only knew about it because I had to pee through a strainer, so I can catch the stone and take it for analysis).
You mention strainer, I was thinking golden showers and someone hits you in the eye with a rock. lol
Somehow, I doubt that would be high on the "to do list" if someone had kidney stones.
Golden shower, no! Strainer, yes. I'm using a small minnow net that used to belong to my dad of which he used for the same purpose. We even took the same net fishing with us up to Wisconsin. Now every time I've held it during the past week, I thought of the old fart, respectively speaking.
My bowel movements have changed from all mostly always runny to something resembling solids.
I honestly don't drink much straight water, preferring coffee, but I have drank plenty of straight cranberry juice during the past week. Last night I opted to take only three Advils instead of a Vicodin.
I forgot to mention that I have been breaking the pills in half starting a couple days ago, since 750mg is way to powerful. It totally fucks up my lucid dreaming capabilities. Go to sleep thinking soon you'll be fuckin' a goat, but end up in a thorn patch naked, nary a goat in sight.
I think he wants me to get hooked on them. What a pal!
