Bad news ... I Just got back from the hospital. I had some horrible back pain at work today. Bob took me to emergency and after blood and urine tests and a Cat Scan ..... It's a HUGE kidney stone. Doctor said I must have been in horrible pain for over a month with it. I said I had some discomfort but thought it was just gas pains off and on for over a month. The pain was actually bad a few times while I was in Vegas for Lily's birth ... just ignored it. He said most people wouldn't be walking with one this big. It's way too big for it to ever pass and he said I need to see a specialist tomorrow and they will most likely have to put me in a water tank and use sonor to blast it ... it's too big he thought for the other kind of blasting. Sounds very strange!!! He has me on strong pain meds and says no work for at least five days. He said he didn't see how I could still go on our mini anniversary vacation because the pain, even with meds, would keep me from wanting to eat or do much of anything. I'll see what the specialist says. What's the difference if I'm in pain at home waiting for the procedure which could be in a few days or at the Beach Club in the swimming pool?????
Oh, and the reason I went to ER tonight besides having horrible pain at 5 PM in the lobby ... so bad I thought I was going to pass out ... when I went to the bathroom before heading home, you guessed it, lots of blood. Pain I can deal with, the blood scared me pretty good!
I'm so upset at the thought of missing my first day back in the sun. I've been counting it down since the radiation doctor told me I could finally get in the sun in August. I even have my bathing suit and Noodles packed!!!!!
Is this year ever going to end??????
