 @1bd21f55 I have often wondered if one day I'm going to find out I already had a few minor ones mixed in with the panic attacks. I'm glad you made it through okay. To me dying isn't the scary part but the process of getting there leaves a bit to be desired.

 @25b5e014 OK, so here I will make you squirm.  On the episode with blood clots, they decided they needed to put in a catheter and they put The New Guy on it.  Well, he fucked it up, scraped the ureter, and it turned into a scene for alien.  How much blood do you want to see pouring out of your penis?  Guarantee this was WAY MORE.  they pulled it, mopped up my going and spent the rest of the time trying to convince me that they should try again WHICH I REFUSED.  STOP MESSING WITH MY BLOODY JUNK, JGSAW!!

They finally brought in an older urologist with very gentle hands who was able to get the catheter done.  Still took quite  while for the blood and entrails to be cleaned up.

 @1bd21f55 oh no. That's a very bad story and I'm sorry you had to live it

 @25b5e014 it’s funny when I tell friends and they can’t stop wincing. Amusingly, hardly any women seem to have any sympathy.

 @1bd21f55 pain is pain. You may not have the parts to identify with the exact type of hurt but it's still awful to think about.
