Welcome to The Wallet Show Aftercastle and stuff we did not get to during the course of the show today.

Oh boy, I'm alive. I'm alive. I live to tell my story. I'm so happy. I feel so much better.

I posted a photo yesterday and it was just one that I found on Google of what the stints look like that I thought you might be pulling

out yesterday. I posted it to our potty group, which you can join if you text the word potty,

P-O-D-D-I-E to 91979. But a lot of people I think were terrified. Terrified for you.

Rightfully so. I sent you pictures of the stents as well. Yeah. With a ruler showing

how a laser ruler to show how long they were. I sent a video too if you want to post that.

That's fine. I'll post that too. My wife said she picked she grabbed audio of me screaming as I

removed them but she was like I got there too late because she didn't want to be anywhere near there. But yeah, I did. I did make some noises. It was not as easy as they say it is. And then to inflict that kind of abuse on yourself is hard. But then you're in it and you're like, I have to keep pulling like a clown removing a bunch of handkerchiefs. That's what it was like.

Well, and what was funny, too, is he was dreading it so bad that he said that he got home. He said, hey to his wife, and then he went to the bathroom, went straight to trying to pull these things out. I did. I'm like, I felt so bad yesterday. I did not feel good. I'm like, getting rid of these. because I had always heard that when you take the stents out after like the kidney surgery, that you feel better instantly.

And. not feel good. I'm like, I'm getting rid of these. Because I had always heard that when you take the stents out after like the kidney surgery, that you feel better instantly. And so,

but they, but they, they focus on that. They don't tell you how bad it feels in the meantime while

you're dragging footlong tubes out of your body, two at a time, by the way. And so, like, they undersell that.

So that is traumatic. And it's done. But then after that, like, I was like, okay, I got what

they said. I started feeling better. I'm like, oh, I'm good. Okay. I get it. I'm on the man.

I'm going to be great. I crashed so hard that afternoon. I don't even know what happened. It was worse than having kidney stones again and I was in pain. I thought I was in the hospital. Like I was in such discomfort and I didn't know what to do. So I went and I like took a bath again to like just calm like my back down and everything and I took some more medicine

and I fell asleep like in the tub so that was good that's scary it's like what happened to

Whitney Houston oh that's true oh my gosh and so I woke up and I was like okay because we had

small group last night was like our last small group of the spring. And so I'm like, okay, I can go. I can go. And so, truth be told, I wasn't feeling great, though. And when you leave the hospital, they give you this jug that you can tinkle in if you need to in the car. I took that with me to go to small group.

That's what I don't understand.

Yeah.

Like why you felt the need to have to go to small group. To honor my wife. My wife loves small group. I understand that, but I'm sure she wasn't sitting there saying, oh, why can't we go to small group? No, she wasn't. to carry around a pee jug.
