I had at kidney stone!!!! SO I woke up....Wednesday morning about 5am and felt quite a bit of discomfort on the left side back area, and at first it felt like I'd over extended a muscle and I'd been having a dull ache there for a few days; dull enough that I really didn't think about it or notice it most of the time so when I woke up wednesday monring with an more severe pain I though maybe I'd pulled it more in my sleep and hey it was 5am what was I doing to do about it. So i sort of went back to sleep and figured I's ask my mom in the morning. LOL so at about 6:45 I hear her up so I'm like ow..I should go down there and ask what's wrong with me. So i hop up and by the time I get down there I am in excruciating pain, which is only getting worse. I was hyperventilating and in shock so my mom took me to the ER. Went drove to one a little further away so I could get in right away. And let me tell you never in my life have I felt such pain. Jeezus. So I was at that one for a few hours where they would give me IV fentanyl (a strong anti pain med) that was short acting and every time it started to wear off my pain would skyrocket so fast that by the time i called the nurse back in I was throwing up from the pain. It was great. They decided that they needed to transfer me to the main hospital since it looked like they might have to do surgery. Once I was transfered to the big hospital the plan became pass it naturally that night or have the surgery first thing in the morning. They said that the stone was pretty big but had a 90% chance that it would pass natually but could take up to a month, hence the surgery cuz I could not handle that kind of pain. So morning comes and they do the surgery and come to find out the tube that runs from my kidney to my bladder is actually unusually small and they said there would have actually only been a 5% chance of passing it naturally. So they broke it up with a laser so it feels like i am peeing sand...yay. and put a stint into the kidney to bladder tube that gets to stay in place for 2 weeks. It hurts but no where near as bad as that pain on the first day. So there you have it, my first overnight hospital stay.....
