Out Damn Stone...
So yesterday I went to work all excited about the things I had to do that day. I had a couple new client meetings and so on. My first appointment was at 10am and he showed up at 10:05 am. I already had his file started so the intake begun immediately. I had maybe asked him a few questions when this pain gripped my right flank. I excused myself and went to the upstairs bathroom since the downstairs bathroom was being worked on (perfect timing).
I tried to use the lady's room but to no avail. I went back downstairs and thought that I would just need to suck it up and continue with my meeting. I managed to ask my client one more question before asking him to wait in the lobby. There was no one else in my office so I walked down to a neighboring office where I proceeded to ask for help and the rest is history. I was carried out in an ambulance to hospital where it was determined that I had a kidney stone.
Now I have had one other about 4 years ago but it was slightly different than this but needless to say the pain is still as intense as ever. The hospital staff, although nice, seemed a little malfunctioning. They blew 2 of my veins trying to start an IV and I am a huge needle phobe. They tried to put me on morhpine for the pain, which I would have been glad to have, but being pregnant I was astonished. They told me over and over that morphine doesn't cross the placenta and it was perfectly safe for the baby, but I have a hard time beleiveing this when I can't even have DAY-QUIL for crying out loud!
So I just gritted my teeth and went on. Now unlike my other kidney stone experience, I STILL HAVE NOT PASSED THIS ONE!!! That's right. I am a ticking time bomb. We came home from hospital yesterday and I had another episode, but still didn't pass it!
So I took the day off, in hopes that my body would cooperate, but so far no dice. The only good thing about yesterday was being able to see PEANUT again. They had to do an ultrasound of my kidneys, since X-Rays are out of the question, and the nurse was kind enough to take a sneak peek at PEANUT. There PEANUT was, just chillin', little heart going a mile a minute :)
Anyways, please pray that I pass this soon. Thanks all.
