Update

I have a Kidney Stone And so I have been in a lot of pain It started on October 10th and then I was feeling a lot better so on Tuesday of this week Pam, Dutch, Dane and I went out to lunch at a really yummy restaurant and I was still feeling fine until about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning I woke up in extreme pain I thought it was food poisoning or something like that but when it kept getting worse and worse I realized it was the same thing I had been experiencing a week earlier. So I knew it was a kidney stone. The pain got so bad that I was throwing up because I hurt so bad!! I have a really high pain tolerance so that is really unusual for me. I called my doctor at 9 that morning and they asked if I could get there by 9:15 I said yes and I jumped in my car and drove there (I had wanted to find someone to drive me but I didn't have time and they had to rearrange the doctors schedule to fit me in because I was an emergency so i didn't want to miss that appointment) When I got there my doctor asked if I had driven myself he was surprised when I said yes and he told me that I either needed to find someone to come and take me to the emergency room or they were going to call an ambulance. I called mommy because she was in town that day. Dr. Clark gave me a shot for pain and some nausea medicine. I was finally able to relax a bit and mommy came to get me. Dr. Clark had already called the Emergency Room to let them know I was coming so when I got there they were waiting for me so I got to go right back. They started me on an IV because I was really dehydrated. And they did a CT scan which was actually pretty fun because at that point the Morphine that the hospital gave me had kicked in so I was feeling pretty good! I still hurt but nothing like I had been earlier. The urologist who was on call came to see me. and he set up an appointment for me. I am required to take a Medical Leave of Absence so that is what I am doing just trying to rest and feel better. I have been told so many times that this is worse than Labor and I believe it I am in so much pain I can't stand it! I would hope Labor is not this bad I have never described my pain as a 10 on the pain scale but on Wednesday I was so far past a ten! SO that is about the only thing happening in my life right now!!
