I have had 38 kidney stones in my life… not fun.
About two weeks ago the urologist went into my kidneys and crushed 15 in my right kidney and 4 in my left that had not fallen yet, and put a stent in on both sides.
Oy...was the stent experience painful. I got one stent out last week and one taken out today. I’ve had many stents in and out and never before have I been in such pain as I have been since the one was taken out this morning.
So here I sit unable to sleep at the moment, and I figure that instead of writing another diary about pain and how much it sucks, I thought that I’d try to collect jokes about pain. I know, seems counter-intuitive, right? But I have learned long ago thru my many MD appointments, procedures, and surgeries that humor helps me cope.
So I thought that I would see if anyone else had any jokes or the like about pain.
I’ll start off with a “dad joke” about kidney stones and see if anyone has any other pain-based jokes.
A kidney stone walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "What'll you have?"
The kidney stone says, "No thanks, I'm just passing through."
