After a surprisingly short 3 hour journey to the Emergency Room, I found out that I have kidney stones yesterday. I'd recently had some side pain coupled with changes in urine color, and thought I should probably head to the Doctor this next week. But, that all changed when I started having severe side pain yesterday evening. I passed a small stone at the hospital, and that made most of the immediate pain go away. Then, I had to give a urine sample, which Jill said had the color of Ruby Red grapefruit juice. It's never a pleasant sight to see blood in your pee.
After a CT scan, I've been told that I have four more in my kidneys/bladder that I'll need to pass. First one up in the batting order is a nice 6mmx4mm beauty that is sure to knock me out of the park. Unfortunately, there is not much they can do for me except pain management. I just have to grin and bear it.
