What a week...

I have had a hell of a week this past week! Last Wednesday I started having a horrible pain in my left lower back & eventually resulted in a trip to the ER Thursday night. I had no idea what was wrong with me, I felt like I was about to die. After a CAT scan I was told I had 2 kidney stones that were blocking the exit of my kidney which resulted in fluid backing up behind them & the excruciating pain I was having. I was told to see the urologist on Friday a.m. & was sent home with pain medication. The next morning the Dr. told me they would have to be removed because I couldn't pass them on my own & I was told it wouldn't be done until the following Thursday!!!! I thought the pain medication I had to take every 4 hours may keep me comfortable until then but I ended up back in the ER Sunday night. They ended up admitting me & I had surgery to remove them Monday afternoon, I felt better as soon as I woke up. If you have never had kidney stones I seriously hope you NEVER have them, it was much worse than child birth if that tells you anything. I hope they don't come back but I was also told once you have them there is a very good chance you will have them again! I have to give a lot of thanks to my husband for taking care of me & our two kids for those 4-5 days & running back & forth to the hospital with me I know he was exhausted!! I'm very thankful to have him & he really is a wonderful husband & I love him very much!
