Then you only are in pain for sorts bursts of time (when the shards are actively moving from the kidney to the bladder). Peeing them out didn't hurt, and they gave me some med to dialate the tube between the kidney and bladder, so that wasn't so bad. Oxycodone took care of any of the other pain I had!

I actually go next week to have a 9mm one blasted. They said it's not coming out any other way.

Not even when I was in the ER screaming.

I'm staying home and taking care of it myself if it happens again.

which the Democrats and Hillary kept secret so they can take America over to promote child pornography and the sex trades through using Benghazi as a distraction. Oh! And emails.
