Owwie
Saturday (17th) I’m getting ready for bed when I notice a pain in my back. I think that I’ve pulled a muscle so I take some Advil and a hot bath but that doesn’t do anything. Then it hits me.
Kidney stone.
Ick, ick, ick.
It’s not as painful as others though, so I spend the night pacing and throwing up. But it didn’t move. Normally, I can feel the stones as they travel through my body but this time the pain just stayed in one place. After 12 hours I finally drove myself to the ER. They gave me nice drugs that knocked me out and I had to call a co-worker to come pick me up. We got my prescriptions filled and I went home and went to bed. The actual stone passed fairly quickly (I seem to have been severely dehydrated) but I still felt really bad. I was nauseated the whole week, even after I went back to work. Finally finished the drug they had me taking on Saturday and Sunday I felt much better. *Knocks head against desk*
I still don’t feel good. I think it’s a combination of my sleep cycle being off and the fact I ate as little as possible last week.
