When Ureter Stents Go Wrong:

You know something ain't right when you have to use the hick maneuver for a few seconds after peeing to keep from passing out because of unimaginable pain. He wants me to go through this every half-hour for 4 weeks? Ya, right. My old doc took the stent out the same day the last time this happened.

Something's telling me my Mother-in-law and I are going to have the ultimate bonding experience this weekend, one filled with rubber gloves and lots of alcoholic drinks beforehand.
