Weekend Plans Ruined by Kidney Stone

August 4th, 2008 at 11:45 pm

I was prepping for the party on Saturday, only to have pains in my side. I had a kidney stone a few years ago and knew what was going on. Called my mom and spent 12 hours at the hospital. UGH.

All they could do is confirm I've got a nice big one. And its 1/2 way through, but stopped for the moment. They sent me home with meds to wait it out.

I'll get a bill, $50.00 for a copay, everything else will be out of pocket.

I spent yesterday at my parents house. Nothing happened. Still waiting for the stone to pass. I went into work today, but was so tired and uncomfortable, I made plans to stay home tomorrow.

I talked to the urologist's office that I used for my previous stone, they told me if the stone doesn't pass on its own, then I'll need to go in Thursday for a procedure. Lucky me.

I'm drinking TONS of water. I'd rather pass it than have any procedures. I'm at my house again tonight. I've been cleaning and mopping in the hopes of moving around might get the thing going. I'm prepped with meds and if it starts moving again, I'll take them right away.

Luckily, I have sick days at work. And although its the worst time ever to be out of the office, I think they'll be ok without me.

    Ouch! That sure doesn't sound like a fun weekend. Hope you pass the stone without needing help.

    I heard about a funny remedy for this. 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Drink like 3 times a day. I've never tried it (never had kidney stones), but this web site says it works:

    Hey, it can't hurt, can it?

    I am so sorry. My husband has had them 6 times. He gave us drinking anything with caffiene and has not had one in 3 years. He was told drinking beer will help too.
