Stones

Here about a month ago, I had a sudden pain in the side of my back. Scared the heck out of me because it was all of a sudden there. I called my sister-in- law who is thankfully a RN. (Thank you Tiff for your patients will all my questions lately.) I am sure she could hear the panic in my voice while I was talking to her. Anyway she suggested I go to the ER. I was scared enough that I was willing. I thought I had appendicitis's. Thankfully it was not my appendix I had a kidney stone. WOW they HURT. When I was younger I remember my cousin getting them bad, my dad has had them, and my little sister has had a few, so I knew about them and that they hurt. I will have more pity on people now. I actually passed the stone in my urine sample in the ER. They went a head and did at CAT SCAN and it didn't show any so hopefully I am in the clear for a while. I had to follow up with my regular Dr. a few days later which was a good thing because I had not been feeling well for about 3 months or so. It gave me the chance to talk to him about the problems I have been having. Us mom's don't worry to much about ourselves but we should. I have been so down and tired, had some plumbing problems I don't care to discuss. (Thanks again Tiff for your advice, sorry you had to hear about it.) I was sent for some blood work and had some tests done. Heard from them last week that I have MONO. Again I had heard of this but didn't think much of it. Well it stinks. I can't sit down to nurse Dakota with out falling asleep most of the time. I am just soooo tired. But this to shall pass; hopefully sooner than later. I guess they can't do much for it.
