I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.

I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?

I have experience some of what I'm told is the worst pain possible. Kidney stones, migraines that hit like cluster headaches. I wouldn't rate any of them a 10 because I'm always like... I could definitely feel more pain. Kidney stones are unmanageable pain, but it's not sheer agony shrieking through every nerve constantly.

Like you could rip off my arm and that would fucking hurt unimaginably, but then you could always pour salt on it after.

Basically you don't rate pain at 9 or 10. At that point you are unintelligible and someone rates it for you.

I rated it at 9 once, "Wanna know the difference between 9 and 10? I can still control the swearing at 9!"

I had a kidney stone get stuck and infected, the pain was so severe I vomited in the doctors office. "OK, surgery at 5, 5 work for you?"

I get debilitating migraines also, so I can relate.

I’ve heard stories about kidney stones and it sounds absolutely horrible.
