UPDATE NUMBER 2 (or 3?  I dunno)

Yesterday morning I woke up with a smile knowing that in a few hours the catheter I had would be removed. I stretched in relaxation and suddenly pain shot through my left leg as calf cramped up!
SERIOUSLY! WTF!
Ever had a leg cramp where you can't bend over to try and massage it out cause you have a tube sticking outta your fun stick? UGH!
My wife, bless her, jumped up and tried to work the cramp out and she got it down quite a bit.
Anyway I get up and we go to the hospital where I waddle in as I have the piss bag strapped to one leg and a cramp in the other. It's so ridiculous its funny.
So tube is removed and in order to be released you have to do a little test for them. I do the pee test and so the nurse looks at me and says "I'm sorry but we have to send you away WITHOUT A CATHATER.   WOO HOO! (by the way I passed the test with flying colors   Strange to be so proud of just releasing my bladder)
I mean I'm dancing on the moon, when we get back to the hotel the doorman asks how are you feeling, doing better.  I couldn't help but dance a little jig for him with smile on my face. (I laughed to myself as I heard his parting comment as I stepped through the rotating doors of "Oh no back to form. She better watch out now!  LOL )

Anyway the wife and I decide to go out and walk around get some lunch and so forth.  And boy did it feel great.  We also decide to go an get a massage. Now personally I don't like massages to much. It reminds me of when I was sick as a child and Mom rubbing Vicks vapor rub on my chest.  I just don't like feeling greasy or oily, UGH!

However I do like reflexology (foot massage) so we find this place and I'm supposed to get a foot massage, and wife gets a massage.
When I go into the room the woman tell me to get undress and lay on my stomach etc.  I'm like .. ok.. thought it was just a foot massage but cool. Of course I was still cramping on my calf.
Apparently it wasn't, was a full body massage. But she starts working on my calf and GAWD DAMN did it hurt, it felt like she was digging into my skin and SPOONING out the stress. Then she rubs my back a bit and says something like "Oh no very stress..." in a thick Asian accent.
What followed was an hour of agony! I remember hearing her flick off her shoes as she started digging her elbows into by back, guess she needed more traction.
I shit you not, at one point she just started punching me in the leg.
Sheer Hell.

But the funniest part was at the very end she leans me up, and man I'm exhausted from this beating she has just given me. She looks at me and says "Oh, are you sleeping?" I swear I don't know how I didn't burst out laughing, maybe fear my muscles would just explode off my bones if I did.

I go out in the waiting room and see my wife sitting there and she kinda give me a smile but doesn't say much... and I know that they have been in there beating the hell out of her as well.  We politely thank them for the torture session and leave where we hobble down the street laughing at the experience. BUT it was something that we REALLY both needed as they worked out all the stress of the past weeks and now we both feel great. The wife is a little stiff as she doesn't handle stress as well as I do and my calf feels brand new!

Today we are heading out to really do some fun vacation activities, the only reminder of the ordeal of THE KIDNEY STONE MEMOIRS is some very mild painful urination (goes away in like 10 second though) as I still have a stent in my tubes, which will be removed in a couple weeks time.  

BUT,  found out, I gotta wait to get some nookie time with the wife till the stent is out...

fuck.   

********************************************************************************************************

UPDATE!!!!

Firstly THANK EVERY ONE FOR THE WELL WISHES!!! They really do mean a LOT to me.

On Tuesday I had to go in and and get a few tests done, the usual X-rays and blood tests to make sure everything was cool.
I went into the hospital on Wednesday for an out patient procedure. It was a LONG day with nothing being eaten after midnight in preparation . However, there must have been some other emergencies ahead of me because although I was supposed to go in early in the day I had to wait until around 5 o'clock. And then
Of course since I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since midnight the night before so I was dehydrated, which causes your veins to shrink. I have deep veins anyway so they had a hell of a time finding a vein for my anesthetic, finally having to go into my foot, LOL.
But they were really cool and apologetic (even though my arms are covered with bruises from their attempts) I didn't care. I mean a few pin pricks was nothing compared to having wires sprouting from my Johnson for the previous 6 days and traveling through airports and so forth with said wires.

So they ferry me into the OR, stuck oxygen mask on me and I lay there sucking air as they set up what looks like the Adamantium bonding chamber for the Weapon X program around me. I didn't even feel myself drift out and then I was waking up in recovery.
I don't know if it was the drugs but I was feeling great. Found out I still had the catheter in BUT all the wires were gone.
Hurrah!

I found out after they still had to leave a piece of stone because it was even bigger than they thought! Apparently my tubes were looking a little roughed up from all the action and they had to put in a stent that will need to be removed later. This allows the tubes to heal up better and faster. I will have to go back for another of the same procedure in a few weeks time but should be a lot easier next time and I feel absolutely fantastic now.  

I still can't work on Manaworld too much right now, but, hopefully I'll be back to my old self in the next couple days. I'm still working through a bit of the pain to make sure the new page is ready for upload, but you definitely don't want any... uhhh... "natural male impulse when looking at sexually explicit pictures" happening when you have a catheter in.
(And what I mean by that is I don't want to get all Wood hard, its bad enough when it happens when I'm sleeping LOL)

I'm thinking of extending the deadline for the Costume contest just cause I having been able to promote it as much as I would have liked over the past few weeks.




********************************************************************************************************
For the last 9 weeks I have been suffering a 10mm Kidney stone. Luckily I have not been in constant pain. Every couple weeks, for 8 hours or so I'd be forced to crawl in a fetal position, whimper, pray, puke and try to time travel by forcing myself to sleep through the pain (this doesn't work well mind you).

I wont go through all the bullshit back and forth X-Rays, CT scans, and Multiple Ultrasounds. Instead I'll fast forward to the latest of the awfulness.

I had to go into hospital Thursday to get this kidney stone removed. Now this was supposed to be a simple out patient procedure, where they knock me out then go up my willy with some wires and crush the stone. When I woke up I may have some mild discomfort for a day or so but I should be good to go home.
Again I was not in pain but I was going on vacation to the NYComicCon and wanted to get this sorted out before I left.
Well, I go through, get knocked out and wake up to the doctor telling me "ok, we have gone up with the guide wires and a catheter so you can go on you're vacation and when you come back we will send you to get the stone lasered"

Even in my state of stupor I was like WTF!!!!!

That's right! There were complications . I ended up staying overnight. They stuck the wires (actually 4 wires!) up my fun stick and tried to get the Stone, but the wires got stuck on it. Now the Stone is lodged and won't move.  
And they can't just yank it out cause that could tear the tube. So I have wires and tubes stuck in me, and this asshole tells me I can go on vacation!

Yeah! Go and take 3 guitar strings , a bicycle brake cable and some rubber hose, shove them up your piss pipe then just try walking 20 steps, never mind walking around a convention for 8 hours a day.

Needless to say I wont be going on my vacation. Instead I have to fly out to on Monday to get this laser procedure done on Wednesday cause they don't do them at my local hospital.

Scratch is not happy.

I am reading notes and emails but if I'm not talkative for a little while you know why. I am rather doped up on painkillers and antibiotics and may not post entries for the Manaworld contest till I get back from my fun filled trip.


Anyway below is the info for the Manaworld Sexy costume contest  if you weren't already aware of it:

********************************************************************************************************

We have about 3 weeks left in the  MANAWORLD SYX SEXY COSTUME ART CONTEST. So make sure you don't forget and get your entries in on time. So far it has been some great ones.

That's right everyone. The FIRST MANAWORLD art contest. This one to coincide with what is happening in the MANAWORLDCOMICS (just add a .com on there to find the page)  webcomic.

Syx, our hapless heroine, has just found out that her CURSED MANACLES have some special properties, one of them the ability to create different costumes. However, they all look like, and I quote, "something a prostitute would wear!"
So if she wanted to look like a cop for example the costume would be too tight, skirt would be too short, and so forth.

Now MANAWORLD is a Fantasy setting, but you can take some liberties.
