I've been in severe pain and throwing up most of the day so I went to the ER. My urine sample was almost entirely blood and a CT scan found that I have an 8mm kidney stone!!! Yikes!!!

I've had kidney stones 6 times previously, but never one this large. I will need surgery to have it removed, so they will probably admit me to the hospital for the night to control the pain/nausea and then schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for healing and rest.

So sorry you are going through this!

I sure hope you heal quickly and can put this behind you.

Wonder if walking over 70 miles last week worked that sucker out.

Hope you feel better soon. Kidney stones are no joke. I would rather give birth than have a kidney stone. They are so painful.

Thank you all. It means a lot to have your care and support.

I can't sleep because I'm in so much pain....and I just don't like hospitals.

They also put in a stint that I have to keep in for at least 2 weeks.

I'm sorry you'r hurting. As a Christian, my go to is praying to the Lord for peace and comfort in the pain...it has helped to get me through many times.

Also, can you ask for more pain medicine? Maybe that will help the pain so you can sleep.

I am a Christian as well and couldn't have said it better.

I'm maxed out on the pain meds right now and have to wait 4 hours in between doses.

Hope you start feeling better today.

Hope you start feeling better today.

Thanks. I hope I do too, but just found out I have to keep the stint in for 3 weeks. Ouch!!!

@@Fatty McFatster - hubby has been through this twice - not pretty.

The stent removal was without meds by the way, for hubby, and it was like a l-o-n-g spring (not straight). He said they put it in while he was under anesthesia and why they take it out like that (nothing for pain) is cruel.

Praying this ends for you soon.

So sorry you are going through this! I have had Kidney stones 3 times and only once did I need surgery for the removal. It was the worst pain I had ever been through in my entire life.

The good news is that you are on the other side and the pain will eventually let up and you will start to feel better. I know hospitals are the best place to relax and take it easy but try. If you are having a really difficult time let the nurses know. They can probably give you something to relax you and help you sleep.

Thank you both so very much!!! Really appreciate the prayers.

Hope to be released soon. Didn't sleep at all last night.

FMcF,

Do you think for a moment that you've been out of anyone's thoughts and prayers? Your good cheer and degree of up-ness have built your own fan base. You'll be back at your best before you know it. Brave little soldier, soldier on.
