1. This is my 4th one. At 9mm wide, this is the biggest one I have had.
2. Many people say this, and it is true.... this is the most physically painful thing I have ever experienced.
3. Pain first hit at 11pm last night. Tried to tough it out and hoped it would pass, but at 4am I cried oncle and had my wife take me to ER.
4. As the drugs began to kick in, my thoughts went to "how do people without insurance or with high deductibles deal with this?" Do they stay home and suffer through it? This is why we need to save the ACA, add a public option, and begin working toward full universal care.
5. Many people say they wouldn't wish this pain on their worst enemies. I disagree. I specifically wish this pain on my worst enemies. I would love every Senate GOPer to feel this pain. I would love Trump to feel this pain. If that makes me a bad person, so be it.
6. You make a lot of promises to invisible omnipotent beings when pain like this hits. Promises that I probably won't keep now that the drugs have kicked in.
