Got my first stone while I was working out of town (in Omaha), and I had to go to the Emergency Room in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Emergency room nurse said something like, "Hon! I've had three kids, and one kidney stone, and I'd rather have three more kids than another stone". With all of the drugs they were pumping through me that's about all I can remember of that night...
Had surgery when I got back home: 9 mm stone. Try pissing that MF'er out!
