So one of my most FAVORITE things to eat is Taco Salad. My mom makes it a lot and teases me with it. The way we make it, it only lasts that day. It doesn't save well. So mom gave me kidney beans a couple days ago so I could eventually make mine! So I made it last night! I almost ate it all.... it was soooo good! So with a full belly.... we go to bed so we can be happy and rested when Mike and Kristen come over.
(Today) So we were doing some last minute cleaning before Mike and Kristen came over to watch Empire Strikes Back, and I started to have some cramps. I'm thinking I must be starting my period soon and don't think anything of it. Well they start to get more and more intense. So maybe its my intestines... so I go sit on the toliet.... not much going on there. But my back and whole left side are KILLING me. So Adam puts some icy hot on it. So not working. So I decide to take a quick hot shower before they come over. I stayed in there till the water was cold. I'm dying. Adam thinks maybe Kidney Stones since its my back that was hurting. So I go to WebMD and sure enough... I have most of the symptoms. Thats when I start yaking. UGH! I yell for Adam and tell him to call Kristen to cancel. (Like 30 mins before they come over) I feel awful. The last time we were hanging out as couples we had to cancel. MIKE ITS NOT YOU! WE DO WANNA HANG! (Hope this doesn't give you a complex that we don't like you! We totally do!) Then I tell Adam to call Mom and see if she can take Hannah. She agrees and I get dressed to go to the ER. I can't even sit in the car w/o crying. Its horrible. Poor Adam can't do anything but see me cry in agony! We get to the ER and I'm shocked there isn't anyone in the waiting room. So we get right in. While we are waiting for them to do paper work, I tell the check in guy I'm gonna yak. He doesn't get me a barf bag in time and I just hurl in the sink like 3 times. (Taco Salad looks nasty when you yak it) I tell him I'm so sorry and he give me a bag. I'm pacing b/c I can't stand to sit in a chair. They're cleaning a room for me and the janitor lady comes to clean up the sink. I'm almost in tears and tell her I'm sooo sorry. She just laughs and says, "It happens! No worries!" Finally I get a room. I'm pacing b/c I cant lay down. The Dr comes in and tells me a nurse will be here soon and just checks me out (he makes me lay down and presses on my belly... I thought I was GOING TO DIE! HOT DAMN DID THAT HURT!)and tells me the pain will be gone in a sec. A guy comes to do my labs and he's freaking out b/c I don't want to sit. I tell him it hurts and he has to do it. He was worried I'd pass out. Told him to just do it. He gets it done and a nurse comes in to start my IV. She tells me to sit. Do she stabs me up and tells me my real nurse will be here in a sec. She tells me she had kidney stones and totally gets my pain. She comes back in like 3 minutes w/my real nurse and is ordering her around! "Hurry up and hook her IV. This girl is in pain! Look at her! (I have the cold sweats, I'm clammy, I'm moaning in pain and just look miserable)" Other nurse," What's your pain level?" Me and the 1st nurse, "10!!!" ( I liked how she was looking out for me) She then tells my real nurse how to put my drugs in and they both tell me that it will feel like labor. I laugh and tell them I wouldn't know since I had a C-Section! They laugh and leave the room. 10 minutes later I'm feeling good. Adam is by my side the whole time. I fall in and out of sleep and he sat there and watched tv and stroked my hair. I get taken for a CT scan and then just wait for the results. Finally we find out I have 2 stones on each side of my left kidney. They're about 3mm and are just staying in my kidney. Nothings blocking them and I should pass them just fine. He tells me he will get my perscriptions and I will be out in a minute. (2 hrs later) My IV drip is out and my machine is beeping like crazy. My nurse comes in and thought I would have been discharged already. Right after that, they bring me my scripts and I'm good to go. As we were walking out, I say to Adam,"I think its funny. When I threw up it was Taco Salad and the first thing I saw was the kidney beans. Weird, the day after I have kidney beans I find out I have kidney stones. Huh..."
