Lithotripsy

The bruise from my lithotripsy looks kind of like a bizarre Asian graphic tattooed on my lower right back. Yeah, a tramp stamp.

The pain from the post-anesthesia headache is worse than that from the blast site, thus far. And I'm super-happy to be able to drink my morning coffee and eat a bowl of Special K this morning. Not eating breakfast yesterday was really tough - particularly the lack of coffee (said the coffee addict).

Why do those punks do it?

Why do some people drive like morons? What possesses them? Why do stupid teenage boys do ridiculous stunts while driving motorcycles through my peaceful neighborhood - when they're not wearing helmets, don't have any protective clothing, and don't have even have plates on their sketchy motorcycles - so that I have to work so hard to avoid hitting them?
