I just saw this. I’m glad you were able to get them removed. Kidney stones are awful.

Dear God. I have a 5mm kidney stone terrorizing me right now. Give me your best help in how to make this 1. more bearable and 2. go quicker. Update: Well, I ended up at going back to Urgent Care on Sat am in unbearable pain. The pain meds they were giving me just weren't working so I went back fully expecting them to send me home and tell me that I just had to pass the stone and maybe they'd give me some meds for an infection or something. But once I was there, they checked my temperature and I was running fever and when they wanted a urine sample, I literally only give them drops of urine and could not give them more even though I could tell I needed to pee. So off to the ER they sent me. Sure enough, a second scan showed two stones --- one of them was completely blocking all urine and had lodged itself to where I would not be able to pass it on my own. So they initially planned on using a laser to break it up and let it pass that way but once they got the camera in there, they couldn't use the laser and had to actually go in and retrieve it themselves. The second stone appears to be a broken off part of the larger stone, so they got that one out as well. I have had two natural, no medicine used child births. And hands down, Saturday morning I was in more pain than I ever had been in before. My stomach was swollen and you could literally feel my full bladder if you touched my stomach. But I am home now and on antibiotics and starting to feel somewhat normal again. Thanks for checking on me and sharing your advice. My Dr is testing the stones to see what they are made of so I will know how I need to alter my diet going forward. I never, ever want to deal with this again. Holy cow, so sorry you went through that - I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I hope you’re feeling much better by now and that it doesn’t infringe much upon your holiday!

I totally missed this before. So sorry you had to deal with this awful situation, but I’m glad they’ve taken care of it. Hope you’re feeling good now.
