Kidney Stones

Things never slow down here!! I was needing all this sleep and never got it, So I wrote my last entry and the moment I got off the computer I was feeling a very sharp stabbing pain in my left side. Then the pain goes into my back and I start feeling very sick, So I rush to the bathroom and Lay by the toilet for a good 30 minutes, feeling as if I was taking my last few breathes. I was going over all the possibilities of what happened!! The flu, or food poisoning, or my IUD was cramping up- the only thing I knew I s I was in more pain then delivering my kids!! So Cody came home got Katelyn off to school and we decide to go in!! It takes alot to get me into the doctos so that is how much pain I was in!! I go to Quick care and they tell me the wait is over an hour- UUGH!! So we go to the ER- still vomiting and feeling very weak, light headed and in pain!! I get back there and when the doctor comes back we go over everything and he says- IM STUMPED! At that point I was like great- another one of these doctors- So they gave me the flu test- negative, they gave me a urine sample and came back and said there was blood in it they decided to do a CT Scan and it shows multiple kidney stone!! The one that is giving me grief is a very large size- more like a rock!!! then they also found a cyst on my right side that was over the size of a golf ball So they did an ultrasound to make sure that is what it was and that was correct, it is either going to pop on its own or shrink back down so they were ruling that out of the concerns!! they kidney stones he said were serious and most people get admitted but since I was doing ok he said that I would be ok to go hime but if anything happens to go straight back in, until it passes I must drink lots, get rest and take medicine for the pain and one to open my urethra to help pass it more smoothly. They said it could be a week or longer to pass this because of its size!!! So I am home feeling discomfort but I am doing ok!! I asked them about Quick Care and they said I would have got sent to the ER anyways!! I was at the ER for appox. 7 hours- That was a long time!!! I have to also follow up with a specialist in a week-UUGH more doctors!! Last night was up and down too!! But I am greatful for my mom who came over last night and cleaned my whole house- bless her!! And all my friends who have been so willing to help in any way they can!! I have the BEST family and friends!!
