this was back on september 19. i got back in a old habit of drinking to much pop and of course we all know thats a result of getting a stone..

friday night (9/18) i got off of work and i was fine and not having pain. i woke up the next day in uch bad pain that i couldnt even lay down. i was going to the bath room, getting sick, and having pain in my right side. it got so bad i called my mom and she said to have my gf drive me to the ER since she was up in celevlan with my sister.. i get there thinking oh great i'm going to be here waiting forever.. well i wasn't i barly waited 15 minutes in the waiting room.. i got in one of those nice gowns (which sucked to wear) i got the iv in and the pain just went away. i watched the osu vs toledo game while i had to wait for the iv to kick in. i had to give the grat urine test and i couldnt go since i went while i waited.. i thought they were gonna give me water or something good to drink. NOT! ! ! ! they gave me this milk stuff but tatsed nasty.. so once that was all done i waited more and was pushed off for the catscan..

at this point i can't feel nothing and was ready to sleep. the nurse told me what was gonna happen and that they were gonna put this dye in. i thought ok i've been through this. then she said and we will also have to give you an enama. i can't remember for what reason.

but to make long story short the dr came back in from the results to say that i had a kideny stone.. now i'm trying to drink less pop or none at all.. the pain was much worse then last time
