Seems like crazy things just keep happening. This past weekend we went to visit my mom and step-dad. Things were going so well. Mom was going to take care of Jake so Mike and I could get some sleep and I was so looking forward to that sleep! Lucky me, however, ends up in the bathroom, hunched over, unable to walk and puking. I kept refusing to go to the hospital because I HATE the ER...especially in Hondo, TX! Two hours later, I was begging my mother to take me to the hospital.
For those that don't know, my mom and step-dad live 30 miles from civilization...which makes a really long trip to the hospital when your in agonizing pain. After puking my guts out and writhing in pain, we finally get to the ER where the doc immediately gives me morphine, as he heard me come in. They had to wheel me in cause I still couldn't walk. Fifteen minutes later, morphine had kicked in and I felt great!
We kept thinking something was wrong with my ovary but we were wrong. After an x-ray and CAT scan, the doc broke the wonderful news that I had 5 kidney stones. The pain was caused by the smallest one being released from the kidney and making it's way into my bladder. The 4 stones remaining are apparently quite large. GREAT!! Just want I wanted! Now I have to go see a urologist in hopes they will blast the stones so I can pass them without any pain. I have my pain medication on hand though...just in case one of those bad boys decides to escape between now and then! Sheesh!
