During a visit to the ER yesterday for serious pain in my "right flank" I found out I have kidney stones. The one that was causing the pain is now in my bladder. It is the smaller of the two. It's a LOT smaller than the one still in my kidney. I'm not looking forward to having the larger one make the journey down my ureter. I have a followup appointment with a urologist scheduled and some pain meds if they are needed.
I was at work when the pain started and I didn't know what was causing it. Erring on the side of caution I had a co-worker call the paramedics. They said I should so to the ER and I did. I got back to the airport just in time to punch out for my shift!
Ooh... I'm sorry, Tom. That sounds excruciating.
And thanks for reminding me that I messed up on the date on yesterday's daily thread. :o And for reminding me that I have one fewer day before the newsletter is due.
