And the fun keeps coming

It seems I have a kidney stone. I've got the horrendous back pain like someone's stabbing me in the ribs under my right shoulder blade. And I'm now getting nauseated, which I haven't had as a symptom yet. OMG IT HURTS. Mom's out selling some jewelry so that we can have a little money in order to have gas for the cars and some food to last until Friday when she gets paid. We all really hate when money is this tight. I know she really hates parting with her jewelry. When she gets back from doing that, she's going to take me to the ER. I told her that since there are so many more errands she needs to run that she could just drop me off at the hospital and I'd call her when I was done, since it would take at least an hour or two and it'd be a waste of time for her to just sit with me. I'm bringing a book and my fauxPod and I'll be fine. (Especially since I downloaded extra bubblegum pop like Moves Like Jagger, On the Floor by J.Lo, and a TON of Gaga and Katy Perry.)

I wouldn't even be headed to the ER if I hadn't run out of vicodin. I finally took two last night and I got about three hours of restless, itchy sleep (that's such a weird side effect, IMO, the itching). This SUCKS. Hopefully they can figure out if it is a stone and give me enough pain killers to last until the damn thing passes. Because there's nothing to do except drink a bunch of fluids and WAIT. IN PAIN. FOR HOURS to DAYS. YEAH.

The one bright spot: a cold front came through this morning and it's only hit 75 degrees as a high today.

money problems, er, pain, music, health, kidneys, mom
