Kidney Stones
Having had them twice many years ago, I knew earlier in the week that something was up. It didn't get too bad until last night. I performed at a company Christmas Party from 7-8 and then the Fenix from 9:30 - 11:30PM. I was fine all day but when I got home from from The Fenix after midnight, the pain they compare to natural child birth was back. I didn't want to go to the hospital, but I really had no choice. I was going to try and drive myself, but that was going to be hard to do with the pain and breathing in a paper bag because I was hyper ventilating. I called Steve Ameden who was nice enough to get up at 2AM and take me to the emergency room. Thanks Steve, that was above and beyond the call of duty. At the hospital, they managed my pain with some morphine and gave me a CAT Scan or whatever it's called. The kidney stone had almost completed its painful trip to my bladder where I hope to pass it in the next few days. I guess we'll see.
Well Mr. Osborne, it may not be kidney stones after all.

Frank, you have my sympathies! I passed two sets of kidneys stones 2 days apart 3 years ago. Comparing the pain to childbirth, the only thing I can say is that women were designed to have kids, we weren't designed to pass these huge freakin' boulders! All kidding to the women aside, morphine is a good thing, hopefully this is your last bout with them. Best, Jim
