DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

All this kidney stone talk!

I am relatively fortunate - while I have kidney stones, most of them usually pass without too much problem or notice. Just a sudden "Oh my!" awareness of passing shards that feel like broken glass at the very end of the cycle. Like just now, for example...

Note that I say "most"... There have been two instances... I can relate to that hot alligator (not the clip, the whole alligator with jaws clamped shut) clamped to your side...
