Is it a geoligist's latest find? Is it a salt deposit? Is it a asteroid?.....
NO!
The above is the latest little adventure in my life that makes me sympathize now with all women and those that have had to endure the same type of pain I had yesterday!
I PASSED A KIDNEY STONE!!!!
So it went down like this, I was talkiong with a friend at work over at his desk and all of the sudden I felt this dull pain start on my left back side and stood up immediately to try and relieve it. I then proceeded to the restroom to see if I could relieve myself and possibly relieve the discomfort I was starting to feel. When I started to walk in that direction I noticed the pain started getting more intense my breathing started to get labored and I started to try and control my breathing. I got into the restroom and started to do my thing and I started seeing stars and blackness started surrounding me! I said to myself "GREAT!! I am going to be that guy that passes out in the mens room with his junk hanging out and be the talk of the office!!!!!" That got my attention real quick and new I would not be that guy! So I quickly finished what I was doing and stumbled to my desk and saw a lead and quickly called for help! A lead ran to my side and yelled if I was going down and I said I was! At this point the pain was more than I could stand I was vocalizing my pain with moans and pursing of lips. In the mean time I can hear other people making comments like" Look how white his lips are!!!" I could feel the sweat beading up on my head and feel it rolling down the side of my head!
The EMT's came and took diagnostics and recommended that I let them take me to the hospital via ambulance and I did! I am glad to because I thought for sure I was going to die so if it happend again I wanted to be in the hands of professionals!
Well I got to St Lukes Meridian and after a IV, 2 Cat Scans, a EKG and 4 hours later it was determined that I had passed a kidney stone an I now have a urinary tract infection!!! I wouldn't pray this curse on anyone I know!It was the worst pain EVER!!!!!
The good thing is they gave me some Vicodin for any future pain!!!!!
Andy, you crack us up, Jason and I are about busting a gut reading this! Glad you passed the darn thing and are still living! Take care:0) Shannon
ReplyDeleteIs that your first one?? Man I've had several by now. The first one is always the worst though because you have no idea what's going on!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awful! I think we are all glad though that you didn't pass out with all of your junk out!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Richard...the 1st is the worst one! Did they give you straight morphine at the hospital? That was the best for me! Anway, hope you are feeling better & welcome to the club!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture. Did you get to take it home? Are you crouched on the bathroom floor taking this picture? Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteYikes!!!! What more can I say? OUCH!!!!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, your kidney stone looks sharp, but my babies were a million times bigger. Drink lots of water.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your pain, but you totally crack me up! I can only imagine the pain you were in. My mom went through the same thing a year ago and she said it was almost as bad as having a kid. And I agree with Jenny that my three kids were WAY bigger. Not to menton the first one I didn't have drugs to help.
ReplyDeleteI guess I can see why they call it a kidney stone....oh my goodness. I had no idea what they looked like. Sorry to hear that you had such a traumatic day, but it sure made for a good story! Glad you are okay! =) Miss you guys. Heidi
ReplyDeleteOuch man! I hope I never have to have that experience. Glad you're okay.
