"Alright so I got kidney stones. Let's check the condition bingo card.... Yes. It is there. Let me circle it. Wow!!!! Heart attack, PCNS lymphoma, gout, GERD, and now kidney stones. Bingo!"

"Did I hear 'bingo?'"

"Yes. What's my prize?"

"Your prize is death!"

"Death? Aw... but I wanted to live."

"Yes. Sooner or later, everybody is a winner at the game of life and death, and the prize is death."

(For the random folks who don't know me and stumble upon this. I've had, or I currently have all the conditions I mention above. Such is life... and death. )

I also puked. I was fine until I was going to the ambulance, and there, in the parking lot, I projectile-returned-to-sender the water I had been drinking.

Because of this, I had been thinking that I probably had appendicitis, but no. It turns out the pain I was experiencing because of the kidney stone was so bad that my gut went "YOLO, motherfuckers." (I did ask the doctor, and that's what she told me, though not with the exact words I'm using.)

Bad news... I have kidney stones. 🤬 I woke up with excruciating pain last night. At some point I decided to call 911 to go to the hospital.

The sliver of good news in this is that I took an Uber to go back home, and I was driven by Juan. We spoke almost all the way in Spanish.

I'm going to put the rest of my symptoms in a CW.
