Just passed a kidney stone.
@ Cedars Sinai ER. Started about 10pm, I toughed it out at first but eventually got here. I've had the flu for a couple days so I didn't know WTF rolled up my alley at first, just severe abdominal pain.
Long story short, got my neighbor and buddy who happens to drive an ambulance for a living to drive me here. No way I could have driven and wasn't sure if insurance covers LA city fire ambulance rides, yes they do send you the bill.
Spent about an hour in waiting room moaning in pain, then a particularly sharp pain followed by relief. I've had one once before 20+ years ago and know the symptoms well. Almost just got up and went home but figured I might as well have urine checked to confirm. This is some crazy-ass pain when it's happening, boys and girls.
