Photo of the author (with added agony)
AI render of a photo of me, representing the feeling when I pulled out the stent that had been keeping my left kidney from being blocked by 2 kidney stones for over 3 months. It should have been removed by a nurse, but the string on the outside end had come loose and pulling down undies partly pulled out about 8cm of the stent. The stent itself was about 25cm (10 inches) long with spirals at both ends.

Not shown - the two post-op bouts of extreme pain when drugs wore off. Now I know what a '10' on the pain scale feels like..

Kidney stones are no fun. It's now 6 weeks in the past, thankfully!

NSFW for representation of pain
