I went to the doctor today because I have been having this pain in my side, and I was starting to fear of imminent death, or at best passing a kidney stone. While I was in the doctors office, they asked me to give them a urine sample. Normally, I am filled to the brim with such fluids, but I hadn't had anything to drink this morning, and I had expelled myself sufficiently right before leaving for the doctors office. I don't think I have ever had a problem relieving myself before, but I sat in the bathroom with that little cup for what seemed like hours. I ran the sink, flushed the toilet, but nothing. I started to have a small panic attack. Maybe I'm dying, and the first symptom is the inability to urinate. After many moments of silent panic, I took a deep breath, and finally was able to produce a sample that a farm mouse would feel embarrassed by. I was literally ashamed of the results, and felt for sure the doctor would mention something about my poor urinary performance. Needless to say, she mentioned nothing, and my test came back clean. Seems I had strained a muscle or something like that. I am not dying, nor do I have kidney stones, but it turns out in the clutch I freeze up like a garden hose in winter.
