BORED!!! I had to stay home for the past two days because of a stupid kidney stone. I went to the ER at St. Mary's instead of California Pacific Med. Center, (first mistake) by ambulance because at 3:00am on Wednesday morning, I woke up with severe pains in my left. I couldn't tell if it was abdomenal or kidney. I went to St. Mary's thinking it could be a complication from my gastric by-pass surgery. I had to tell the driver how to get there because she was a new employee. Craig came with me. Morgan and Elizabeth followed in car. I get there to the hospital. I was put in a room all by myself. Craig was doing paperwork and they wouldn't allow Morgan or Elizabeth to go in. I am screaming in pain because they couldn't give me pain drugs. Craig asked them to call Dr. Rabkin because of the possible problem. They never did so Morgan called PACLAP. Maria talked to me and sent Dr. Rabkin down. I talked to both ER doc and Dr. Rabkin just as the morphine hit my system. I had a CT scan with contrasting dye. They found I had a kidney stone. Came home full of morphine. Got Percocet to help. The stone passed yesterday around 10:00 am. Good thing I had a note from Doc. I have a little muscle pain in the back every once and a while. I finally got a good night sleep and so did the rest of the family. The trials and tribulations of a mouse...
