A Kidney...wha????

So it all started Saturday night after the bees game. I began to get a bit of a stomach cramp, but I just shook it off thinking oh I will just take some tylenol and sleep it off.... oh no, that's not what IT had planned for me! At about 2:00 am I woke up with SEVERE stomach, side, and back pain! It hurt so bad I never really got back to sleep.

When I woke up sunday morning the pain was still there! I figured I would wait a couple hours and if it didn't get better then I would go to the instacare....At 3:00 pm that afternoon, I was headed to the instcare..it hurt sooo bad! They got me right in and I did a urine test.

When the doctor came in he THAT look on his face and I knew it was not what I expected. I was thinking kidney infection for sure, but it turns out that I have a kidney stone! I was like...no! My dad and brother,and other family members (kidney problems run in my family) have had them so many times before, and I heard all there horror stories of when they passed it and such. I am not looking forward to "passing" it as they call it! If you know what has to happen (I don't want to give out to much information) then pray for me!

And the waiting for the "passing" begins..oh gosh.

Oh no! I was hoping you would have passed it by now. I'm so sorry! Let me know if you need anything!

That sucks! I can't believe that it is taking this long to pass. I feel so bad. I hope it passes quickly!

Good Luck with that! I know that Ben can sympathize with you because he has had his fair share of them. He gets to the point now that he will go right to the ER and they will give him morphine to make it better. I do hope passes quickly for you. Do you have to strain it? :) Sorry was that too much info?

Wow! I had a stone a couple years back and luckily I didn't even know when I passed it! It sounds like your case is a little more severe than mine though. Yikes. Good luck!

OUCH!!! Putting the words stone and passing together does not sound like fun especially knowing where it has to pass. I hope it goes by quickly!

Kindra said...

Oh my! I am so sorry that you have to go through that! Well, you have already gone through birthing children, now you get to birth a stone! I am not sure it will be as special...
