Sick day III
Some thoughts:
This stone is hanging around longer than Hillary Clinton.
Pain is especially annoying for writers because it's so difficult to describe. In the hospital they, wisely, take it out of the realm of language and put it into that of numbers: 1-10.
I've discovered a great way to get rid of telemarketers: Tell them you're having a kidney stone attack. They immediately apologize for bothering you and wish you well. Try it the next time somebody interrupts your dinner.

Sorry, I don't know why I'm so drawn to your pain but this post also triggers a thought...
I have long said that if you need an excuse to get out of a commitment, just say you have diarrhea. After all, you would never admit something so disgusting if it weren't true.

Feel better Tom!
Well wishes from the West Coast.

I would pay big money to witness Tom weasel his way out of something with his nice polite voice by saying he has diarrhea.
I am also looking forward to someone sending a get-well card to Tom and the stone, or other combinations.
even though we all feel bad because of how awful it is, this has the potential to get funny fast...
