Trauma, Trauma, Trauma

Traumatic is a good way to describe the past 2 days! Here is a little bit of explanation! I go into work Tuesday morning perfectly content and pain free! I repeat pain free. Then the pain starts to come in my abdomen/back area around 11:30, no big deal just thought I had been sitting at my desk for too long so I got up and walked around. That didn't really help so I sat back down and it gradually got a little worse. So another brilliant idea came to me around 1:00, I'll go to lunch and lay down on the grass maybe that will help? No it got WORSE! and I am mean the worse pain I have experienced in my lower right side of my abdomen. I called my mom laughing/crying, not being able to breathe. She looked up symptoms for your appendix and all of mine hit right on the dot, but she didn't know and told me to call my sister, Lisa. And that was it, Lisa confirmed that I needed to go to the doctor right away even if it wasn't my appendix. So back to work I went barely being able to think, sweaty/clamy and embarrassed. They must think I have serious issues over the past few weeks... Everything just seems to be happening, but anyways on to my story. At 3:00 I was at Dr. Berman's office and the ER by 4:30 getting cat scans and morphine! Oh morphine how I love you. After about 45 minutes of drinking some stuff to light up my organs I was under the cat scan machine getting checked out. Dr. Kemp (he was a very good looking doctor) came in, showed us the scans and said "it isn't your appendix, see... but when we move this around (the picture on the computer) BAMMM! Kidney stone!" And it was a really really big kidney stone, you could see it plain as day. It is 6.5-7mm which is really big. Usually they deem 6mm stones passable, but mine is too big to pass. So after lots of pain killers, pee strainers, hospitals and the urologists I am going in for surgery today at 1:30 to get blasted by the "stone blaster" joy! Send me good thoughts, it has been a crazy two days.
