Yes, I have kidney stones. Yes they hurt like hell. No, I don't know what caused them (there are like 5 different kinds, each with their own unique cause) but everyone has their theories. They also all seem to have a "friend" who has had kidney stones and they all seem to tell me that the person passed out from the immense pain or grown men weep when they pass the stones. THANKS GUYS!!! I was hospitalized for a couple of days last week, but I got VERY restless laying around in a bed all day (Crazy, huh) and I demanded they release me back to work. I also have a 16 year old at home who, as grown as he acts, missed his mom when I was gone two nights in a row. He missed me so much he refused to be in the house alone and asked his friend's parents to come get him so he could spend some time over there instead.
I have pain medicine that makes me VERY naseous. Now I have to decide whether I was to feel pain or feel like I was to vomit constantly....decisions, decisions.......I have chosen the pain. It is kinda like period cramps in the front, but the back pain is much more severe. The doctors said it is from my kidney swelling up due to blockage from the stones and pressing against mt backbone, but can I say OUCH! I am supposed to get into my car on Friday and drive for 6 hours to Las Vegas to spend time with my neice on her birthday, but 6 hours in a car may just be the death of me....
