I had a kidney stone overnight last night. I woke up with extreme pain in the back left side that didn't let up. It was probably worse than when I had appendicitis a few decades ago...maybe an 8 or 9 out of 10. Also had nausea, the sweats, etc. The wife took me to the hospital since it wasn't going away, passed me through the donut machine for a CT scan, and it was diagnosed as a kidney stone. They kept me there until the pain passed and let me rest, and sent us on our way maybe 3 or 4 hours since we arrived.
Taking the day off from work to rest, but back at it tomorrow. I feel fine, other than being a bit tired. Drinking plenty of water and taking a prescribed med to make me pee more. The stone should pass completely (can't wait) in a few days, according to the doctor.
Don't really need a prayer request for any of this, but it definitely did a number on me. I'm just hoping when the stone finally leaves, it doesn't hurt too bad, but I'm no counting on it.
