As many of you know, over the past three years I have suffered from kidney stones. This morning after waking up, I had a slight pain in my groin and abdomen that felt familiar. Not bad, just a slight pain. I went to work because I had to meet a client at 7am about a bid that I had submitted. At 7:10 I told him that I had to get back to him later because I was sick. I went to the restroom and started vomiting. By 7:15 the pain was extreme. I drove home (about a 14 mile drive) and spent the rest of the morning in agony. I took several shots of apple cider vinegar (supposed to be a good home remedy for stones) but would vomit it up. About 10:45 the pain was so intense that I was going to call 911 to come get my ass, instead I called my mom who lives in Harker Heights. She came and picked me up to take me to the hospital. Cheryl was in a meeting and couldn't get off. The 20 minute ride to the hospital was hell on earth.
As soon as we pulled into the hospital, the pain went completely away.
So we parked and I walked around for a few minutes. Felt fine. In fact I felt great. So I decided to spend the afternoon at homes house. On the way, we stop at a gas station so I could take a piss. Urinating was simewhat strained but okay. As soon as I get back to her car, the intense pain starts again. So I have her take me back to the ER.
As soon as we pull into the hospital, the pain stops. Again.
This time I go into the hospital to use the bathroom and everything seems normal. No pain since about noon. Feel fine now except for being utterly exhausted from the pain this morning. So I think the stone has passed into my bladder thankfully. Now all I have to do is shoot it out. That is a piece of cake compared to passing it from my kidney to my bladder. I pray that all goes well tonight.
The pain is from a large kidney stone is some thing I wouldn't wish on even, well, cHraig.
The end.
