Out of Hospital now...
Yes, for reals this time. hehe
I was in the Hospital all day yesterday with SEVERE abdomen pain. I woke up at about 6 in the morning in excrutiating pain and didn't know what to do. So, being the doctor loving guy you all know me to be, I took some advil and tried to go back to sleep. Well, at about 7 or 8. I really don't remember now, I was up again, this time in such severe pain I was shaking, my vision was blurred, and my eyes were watering. Nope. Didn't go to the doctor yet. I'm tough, I can take it. Then I started vomiting. All over the place. I eventually got enough control over myself to drive to my family doctor. After collapsing on the front desk trying to make an appointment, they put me through to my doctor right away. He examined me for 10 seconds and called an ambulance.
While sitting there waiting for the ambulance. I called my mommy and told her what was going on. Called Peter, and got him to call my work and school.
I got to the hospital and was put through pretty much right away after doing some admitting of paperwork and throwing up a bit more. They immediately gave me some morphine and gravol. And let me tell you... that was friggin fun! Some of the pain went away. I was still in rough shape because they didn't know what was wrong with me yet and wanted to wait for the Doctor before doping me up completely. Doctor came in and asked me some questions. He determined it was a kidney stone and arranged for a CT-Scan. I got something called Torodol, which is an extreme muscle relaxer I guess to stop my kidneys from trying to push the stone out. They also gave me more morphine and gravol. I went to happy land. No more pain, ANYWHERE... Emotional or physical. lol
I eventually got my CT-Scan after about an hour or so and they found a 2-3mm rock in my kidney which was pushing it's way through to my bladder. They kept me in the hospital for a while to make sure it was going through and not getting blocked. And last night sometime. Who knows when because I was pretty doped, my mommy took me home. She got me a booster juice on the way back though. I remember that.
Any way. I pissed a piece of that rock out last night sometime. It fucking hurt like you wouldn't believe. Even with the morphine in me, and the vicodin they gave me... I still have more to pee out, because they put these drugs in me to break the rock up into smaller pieces so it is "easier" to pass. I'm still waiting for those other bitches to come out today sometime. I can't wait. The morphine is gone, so I'm on Percocet and Vicodin right now to compensate. This is quite easily the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life... And the passing of the stone(s) is even worse. It's going to be a long day today. I'm in bed right now dreading taking a wiz...
They told me once the stones are gone, I'll feel fine with pretty much no pain. Just some minor discomfort from passing a stone. hehe I really don't understand, from the size of the one I already peed out, how these things can cause so much pain. They are TINY little buggers. The tubes and paths from my kidney to bladder to pee hole HAVE to be big enough to compensate. What's the big deal? They don't even know what causes kidney stones. They used to think it was calcium build up, but proved that to be untrue. Doctor told me people just get them, randomly, and for no reason. So why so much pain for something so small, that I didn't do anything to deserve? Terrible. If it was because of something I eat or drink or whatever, I'd sit back and say "ok, I deserved this." But with no real cause? This is wrong. hehe Alright, post over. I'm going back to napping. I'm tired. These drugs are fun.
