All things must pass a kidney stone or two.
Woe betide a thing that won't!
About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Ouch!
And that's all I got to say on this matter!
Matter is the problem!

(cph here) Ok, Jeff, there's NOTHING funny about kidney stones. Twice. Nothing!
(oh, ok, I suppose there's humor in...everything, if you dig hard enough)
I am intimately acquainted with kidney stones.
They are not fun.
But talking about them can be funny.

Must be something in the north-central Arkansas water...(and/or really lousy daily hydration habits on my part...sigh)(it has at least been a good 5-6 yrs since my 2nd/last...episode, I believe)
Yeah, but "funny ha ha" or "funny strange"?
Both.

Worse pain I have ever experienced. Hospitalized for three days one time. Will say the morphine drip was fantastic... :-)

I had one in each kidney, both of them blasted out the same day,
