I was in Emergency Care all of Yesterday Morning
🕑 Added 2025-05-20 22:34:15 +0000 UTCtl;dr: I have a kidney stone now
Unfortunately no sketches to go along with this because I have just been fucking SICK this whole time. Because if it's not one thing, it's another, and then ANOTHER. So, after I was pretty much done recovering from my cold or whatever, I was sitting at my desk, sorta leaning on my left side. When I feel a slight pain creeping in on it. I figured I was just sitting wrong and slightly pulled a muscle or something, so I adjusted and tried to stretch. Well, that just made it worse. It wasn't anything TOO BAD so I just didn't think much of it and laid down to try to take some pressure off of it. It went away in about an hour and everything seemed fine.
UNTIL, the next morning when I tried to go to bed and laying down on my side made it hurt like hell. Laying on either side did it too. And this didn't feel like any kind of muscle pain or back pain that I had before, and with my medical history, I figured something else was up. So I ended up going to Emergency Care, getting pumped full of painkillers and getting a CAT scan. And they found that I have a 3mm kidney stone that's in the process of passing.
Now, I've had two kidney stones before; and I was surprised that another one was causing this kind of pain. Because the previous two came on pretty suddenly and were EXCRUCIATING. But they only lasted a few hours and the pain drifted from my back to my stomach/groin area over the course of it. This one, however, has been lasting a few days, the pain comes and goes, and hasn't been nearly as bad as the previous ones(still bad enough to go a hospital though). So I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
So after spending all morning there, and all afternoon running around trying to get prescriptions because CVS is fucking awful, and being awake for over 24 hours, I eventually passed out for a few hours on the floor bent over my ottoman because that was the most comfortable position I could get in. I haven't had much pain since then, but I can still feel a pressure in my side, threatening to radiate into a wave of pain from just the slightest wrong move. Thankfully, I was able to lay down and get enough sleep today.
So yeah, that's what's been going on with me.
