Was woken up at 5am by the pain in my lower abdomen and it was severe. Originally I thought it was just constipation… then I went to the toilet did the business, saw the bloody urine and was still in pain.

So I rang 111 (uks none emergency hotline) and they told me I needed to get to hospital ASAP. Being 5am and unable to drive in pain (and the hospital saying they couldnt send an ambulance as they were busy for the next 4 hours… its 5am) I banked on my grandma being awake and she actually was (she never sleeps)

So they sent me to surgery assessment (panicked) as they thought the same thing as me which was my appendix, it wasnt until I had repeated trips to the bathroom that it hit me, I could feel my urine being blocked. So they sent me for blood tests, urine tests, cbt scans and found that it was kidney stones in both kidneys and they were huge. They treated me, observed me throughout the day and debated whether it was better to keep me in or just send me home with medication. So they sent me for an Xray and saw that the stones had not moved since the cbt scan.

So I was there from say 5am to 6pm and they decided to send me home but told me to not go to work for atleast 2 weeks. If the pain comes back with a vengeance I have to go back to hospital and I probably would be staying the next time.

Today was just lethal
