I managed to set fire to my bed when I was about 15. Exactly the same sort of thing. Over filled a zippo lighter, went to light a cigarette which I'd intended to smoke out my bedroom window, lit the lighter and my hand went up in flames. Threw the lighter in shock which went down the side of the bed very much alight. I don't even have any recollection of how I put it all out without any major damage or hurt but I got away with it.
Still haven't learn't my lesson with Zippo lighters and often overfill them still. Don't light them though until the excess has evaporated now though.
A mate of mine loved the smell of Zippo lighter fluid, one day after a couple of smokes he wondered what it smelt like lit.
Turns out it smells of burning nose hair.
bit of an update, nothing happened since I got released, took my Meds daily etc, had pain in lower back and odd cramps, no Stone passing.
then yesterday about 1, sat on the floor in agony for hours again, couldn't piss for the whole day. back in A&E, sat for 5 hours on my own screaming in pain, felt like I wanted to ****ing die
been dosed up overnight, apparently the stone is caught in a tube somewhere and causing my bladder/ kidneys to inflate with urine.
pain is just ridiculous, had all sorts of stuff and still feel like shit .. waiting for an xray to confirm it's position
If it makes you feel any better this is almost a mirror of what happened to my mate so you have about 6months of agony and hell to look forward to.
Hope this brightens up your day
They can sometimes break it up with ultrasound and you pass the small chunks, depends on it's location though.
OK so been sat here all day, passing in and out of consciousness.
apparently the stones blocked my urethra, and caused my kidney to back up, after some blood tests my left kidney is failing quite badly, so they've got me going in for an OP as soon as a slot is free tonight or first thing in the morning.
apparently their going to put a camera up my crown jewels, see if they can remove the stone, or if not they'll put a stint up there to try and keep the kidney drained and book me in to come back and have it lasered.
**** my life...
Just to make you feel better i have been having phantom wanting a shit pain all day
4 hrs on a bog and no relief
Its a total twat wanting a shit but not having a hole
just got out of theater, they couldn't do the lasering, something to do with the fact it takes a lot longer and they barely squeezed me in as it is, so they've put a stint up me to keep the flow open, apparently when they looked inside my whole bladder, urethra and left kidney were full of pus from the kidney basically poisoning itself due to not draining, they cleaned it all out but said if I hadn't come in when I did that I might have lost my kidney it was that bad!
feel alot better now, not screaming in pain, apparently this tube should prevent any issues and they're putting my on an emergency list for laser so should get an appointment within the next couple weeks to a month hopefully.
apparently the pus is called pyonephrosis, they said if they left it much longer my left kidney would have required removal, and I was at risk of sepsis.
lovely stuff

So... no morphine now? thats a bummer.
Lovely stuff about the pus, guess its a bit worse than what comes out of a big boil.
So you've got a catheter stuffed in and have to wait a month?
**** thats horrible.
not a catheter, I did have one fitted and removed in hospital, but it did jack as my kidney was packing up, basically its a plastic tube, one end is coiled inside my left kidney, the other in my bladder, idea being that before the tube between them was closing up due to the stone and basically the kidney was sitting in its own waste and infecting itself.
this tube is ****ing horrible, really really uncomfortable, my piss is constantly got blood in it which is apparently 'normal' and hurts like hell.
weirdest thing?? when I piss I can feel my left kidney, because apparently when you urinate the tubes should close, but obviously cant with the stent in, so basically when I wee some piss goes back up the tube and then back down it a couple times......apparently a month, could be two, trying to get onto my DRs and see if they can help get an appointment sooner.
no just regular painkillers, morphine didn't seem to help that much this time round because of the nature of it I guess?
no idea what the pus was exactly, but they basically said it was the kidney infecting itself apparently the whole left kidney+tube and even some of my bladder were full of it, apparently if I hadn't gone in hospital, or they spotted it any latter I would have gotten sepsis (Sp?) and my left kidney/ possibly other organs would have shut down completely.....honestly? I was ****ing terrified.
Sounds lovely
Jesus , sounds awful. Hope you get better soon. Which hospital are you at?
Cock full of pus.... thats my new phrase for today
