Had one myself a couple of years ago. I'm still not sure if I got morphine in the ER or a placebo; the original shift didn't want me leaving until 1:45a.m. since they didn't want me driving up 101 on morphine. But when the next shift came in at midnight, they had no problems practically pushing me out the door.
Was given vicoden to take home. At first, I thought it wasn't having any effects other than reducing pain. Then I went across the street to Target to get some cranberry juice. It being October, they had costume displays up, and it started occurring to me that maybe I did actually need a lifesize giant chicken costume when I thought "Maybe the vicoden has kicked in".
Never felt it actually pass, but the pain stopped so either it passed or moved elsewhere in the kidney where it's not bothered me since.
