Hobbled, beaten, bloodied and struggling….but STILL HERE!
Oh, what a couple of weeks it’s been around here. Mostly painful ones, but now there’s drugs involved, so I also get to talk to the floating dolphins that line my driveway.
Oh, you wacky America, with your genuinely lunatic politicians who are basically evil. How you amuse me.
Forgive me, internet-landers, for it’s time for my next pain reducing medical thingie. They actually work to reduce the pain, but they more or less knock…
TY THE GUY OUT!
Bonus moment. Kidney stones meet comics.
Go with the best.

It was long enough ago that I did a Bun Toon that we still hadn’t seen the end of Breaking Bad. Click here to see how accurate my predictions were.
Click here for the Bun Toon archive…back when I was healthy and could do one of these every Saturday.
Ty Templeton's ART LAND!! 
Suffering through medical calamities and financial ruin are small prices to pay for freedom. Of course, you live on the other, tyrannical side of the Maple Curtain. You’ve probably been brainwashed to accept your oppression by things like “proper health care” and “politics run by grownups” and all those things that keep you down. It’s sad, man. Just sad.
(On an entirely not-sarcastic note, though, I hope whatever route you select works out well for you and that you recover quickly!)
Ty, you brighten my week. Thx.
I make no excuses for Amurican lunatic politicians. I am, however, shamed by the folks that elect them.
Yeah, rub it in you Maple Maven. I know at least here in AZ we get to beat everyone though by now even having separate ballots for Federal vs. State elections; wooh-whooo, a REAL excuse to not even vote anymore, too.
BTW, any houses for sale up there north of the maple-drizzle-line?
When I had kidney stones, my gall bladder was so diseased that it literally fell apart as the doctor removed. It was a time bomb that could have killed me at any moment. That said, it was better than watching the Republican Tea Party in action.
I had no idea that kidney stones are dealt with by drilling a small hole to ones back…
If anyone is suffering of goosebumps right now, due to that sentence, I`m sorry.

Tempted the fates too much. About an hour after I posted this bun toon, I ended up in the hospital, where it looks like I passed ONE of THREE kidney stones. A lot of pain, still not finished with this process. ARRGGH.
Well, damn.
Stay strong, Ty! This, too, shall pass. 🙂
I guess imagining a comment from a particular Monty Python knight on a bridge would not be appropriate right now…
Cheers!

Good luck, Ty!!
Ouch. Sadly, know the pain of kidney stones well. On the bright side, it’s a short-term condition. There are worse things to suffer, though I know at the time it doesn’t seem that way. Hope you’re back in the game soon.
As for our mixed up politics…well, our medical system is messed up, too! So THERE!
…wait, that’s not a victory at all. 😦
Sorry to have been late in seeing this….I do hope you’re over the worst if not all of it, Ty. The happy drugs sound really good, though. And yes to public healthcare!
PS Wait, wait, wasn’t it just the other day that Tony Isabella was a teen comics fan? what’s his kidney doing falling apart? (feeling my own kidneys for any signs of imminent betrayal).
It was my gall bladder that felt apart. And, not to rain on anyone’s parade, but even happy drugs come with side effects and some of them can be downright nasty. Of course, Ty being a hearty Canadian, he’ll probably do better than me, the poster child for adverse side effects.
