^ I've certainly found that my dignity has been lost on several occasions due to stones. Take the hospital trip for example, first time I've cried (in pain) in front of a room full of people.
Second more embarrassing example is one of a few weeks ago. My fiance and I were driving back from her folks (about a 4hr drive) and I began feeling a little worse for wear. I tried hard to grin and bear it, and some of you know that you can't exactly stop on the M25, but I managed to make it to Reading services so I could take a break.
I must have been past the point of no return, because I was now feverish, nauseous, and to the point where I could barely walk.
By this point my fiance had called for the paramedics. They took almost 40mins to arrive (they got lost on the M4). When they arrived, they found that the only way I could cool myself down was to strip to my boxers and lie on the tiled for of the disabled toilets... (told you my dignity had gone)
The only way I've been told I can move my op forward is to have another episode and to go into my local hospital and be treated as an emergency case...
I would not wish this on anyone.
Remember kids, drinks lots of water! :-)
