I just wanted to update you all. You probably noticed my absence yesterday. I started having a lot of pain about 10 pm on Monday night. It felt exactly the same as what I had in October with my kidney stone. Thankfully, I still had some meds in my nightstand that I had saved from then. I took a couple about midnight and rode the night through until I could call Cindy yesterday morning. She took me to the ER here in town. I had blood tests, urine tests, an ultrasound, etc. They then decided I should have a CT scan, which they don't do here in town and I would have to go to Kentville Hospital. So I called Cindy to ask if she would take me and of course she would. She even brought me a sandwich as I had not eaten since the day before. I got to Kentville and had the CT scan. Sure enough, kidney stone, but this one appeared to be lodged in place. So Kentville wanted me to go through the ER thing all over again. Back out into the waiting room I went, etc. Long and short of it my Doctor here from Middleton called me in the ER and told me that he had put through some prescriptions for me and that I was to go home and that the Urologist would be in touch and that in all likelihood thy would do some procedure today for it. So I am just waiting for her to call and see what is up. My son Doug has arrived and is taking good care of me and will take me back to Kentville today if the procedure is scheduled. Cindy can't because Dad has a hearing appointment to be fitted for new hearing aids. I am so blessed to have Doug here. I was in a lot of pain last night. I was in bed at 7:30. I was really tired from the night before as well. I did manage to get to sleep and I slept right through from about 8 pm until 5 am this morning when Nutmeg meowing persistently on the other side of my bedroom door woke me up. Poor thing was simply starving you know. (He is so funny.) I got up and fed them both, had a shower, and am now waiting to hear from the Urologist. I don't know whether to eat anything or not. Nobody said anything. I do have a very strong antibiotic to take that has to be taken with food. So I don't know. Anyways, that is the update for now. I will keep you posted!
Don't forget!
I'm so sorry. Kidney stones are horrible. I have made a lot of trips to the OR for them.
ReplyDeleteDon't eat anything until you ask your doctor. If you need anesthesia for the lithotripsy you won't be able to get the procedure. You'll have to wait.
They have put the op off until tomorrow now, possibly. They don't seem to be able to make up their minds. Waiting is the name of the game now. xoxo
DeleteTake care..People often recount their kidney stone stories and they all say how painful they are.Hope this gets resolved once and for all.Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteWaiting until tomorrow now. I trust that it will get done tomorrow. Here's hoping! xoxo
DeleteLet's hoe you get the lithotripsy today. We all have different stories and experiences to relate, but every person is different. Hoe it goes well, positive thoughts being sent your way.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Linda. Waiting another day now. There is another kidney stone in the right kidney as well, but that is a small one and they say it should pass eventually. (Joy joy! More to look forward to! lol) xoxo
DeleteOh, my, Marie. I’m so sorry to hear your news. Hope whatever action they do today will go well. So glad Doug and Cindy are there to help. Take care. Love and hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteWaiting until tomorrow now. They will call me in the morning. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight just in case. Thanks Elaine. Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteI'm so sorry, Marie. Just prayed your procedure would go smoothly and you would be stone free and feeling good in no time at all.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on the call. Hopefully they will call soon and realize as well that I am at least an hour away from the hospital. Thanks Sandra. xo
DeleteOh, take care…I’m sorry for your pain! Prayers coming🙏🏼Virginia
