Two stones in two days and two more to go. Yesterday I passed a kidney stone. I haven't had one that painful since I was pregnant with Grace. Pain pills took the edge off. I slept all last night in between pain peaks.
Today I woke up sore and while driving to my infusion clinic I felt the pain come back. I was passing another one. Since the Drs were not in I skipped my infusion and went to an urgent care.
I was told there was blood in my urine but no infection... Thanks to the IV Rocephin. It confirmed that I did pass a stone yesterday and the x-rays showed I have others to pass, too. I was advised to go to the hospital.
I went home, and Bryan took me to Centennial Hills Hospital. I was given heavy pain meds... It was great to have a break from herxing and pain! The CAT scan showed I was in the process of passing one on my left and one more on each side are ready to pass as well. I was given 5 different meds and sent home to call my specialist in the morning to be seen right away.
If you have ever passed a stone you know that once you do it tears you up inside. Passing a second one was only that much worse because of the already damaged path it has to follow to exit. On top of that I was herxing. Not cool.
My urgent care Dr. on Craig... Tony Garcia, is great. I saw him last year when I first became sick. It was nice to talk to him about my progress. He asked me how soon I would be doing my back surgery now that I am almost off of the IV Rocephin. Of, course once I'm done I will have my polyp surgery and then my back surgery. Yea me!
2014 will be the year to get me better... And this too shall pass.
Now for some sleep.
