I had some warning. Mine had shown up in an x-ray and CT scan for an unrelated issue.

Every nurse I talked to seemed to take sadistic pleasure in describing how painful it would be when it came out.

Still nothing could have prepared me for that amount of pain. It was truly horrifying.

This is why when given the opportunity to tell people to drink more water, I do it. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.
