yes they are kidney stones my friends

The culture came back negative for any bacterial growth, so the blood in my pee (ew gross nasty) and the pain means kidney stooooones.

At first I was super duper scared but my mom has one and she talked me through it a bit and a friend of mine has them a lot and she talked me through it even more, super grateful for that. Currently doped up on vicodin with a heating pad, reading and enjoying a nice lull in pain. I think it's about to pass which means the worse should be over.

Spring break is next week so I'm gonna go to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure there isn't a larger stone that the smaller ones are breaking off of.
