Priorities for next 14 days :
No matter what , making sure I have no wear down panties on and matching bra will be nice
Just in case my behind ends back on a stretcher again
Well . Kidney stone . Delightful . Decided to dislodge from kidney Friday at 0300 after vigorous chest compressions for 17 mnt on a dead man . He is alive . Honestly , I will like to go back on Monday night and punch him on the face
Less than 1 hr later , I found self on the floor screaming / vomiting / thinking I am dying / cold sweat / fuck me to tears , this is not happening ? A CT scan later , some morphine, that made me rant in both Italian and Greek and absolutely 0 English , and I was told I have I new best friend that I need to pee her out . I decided itβs a β she β.
Made it home Friday morning some how , anticipating snow , which promptly came , and not going to leave my boys alone in the bedroom for 48 hrs , u know ? Since Friday I have been drinking an ocean of water and lemon juice, I live in the bathroom , I canβt get to ease enough to sleep , and motrin is Jesus
Speaking of Jesus , oh I saw Jesus Saturday morning too Doc F who I know for 100 yr at ER , and he knows that narcotics and I we donβt mix well , insisted of giving me Percocet as well just in case . Well . I broke down Saturday morning and took half of that crap . Last time I had any Opioid besides morphine at ER was 20 yrs ago for dental . Sure shit , Saturday morning was a spinning room here , a β where can I hold to crawl to the bathroom , and who are these green people looking at me β. No thanks , motrin it is
So . I havenβt peed that bitch yet , and I am getting nervous bcz sure I have to go to work tmrw . Thatβs not an option . We are so understaff , especially for critical care , not even funny . Plus Iβm charge , and that species doesnβt exist in the menu anymore
I am f defeated , I will admit , I am f tired , and I try very hard to see the good in every shit
Epiphany , and the light up stairs turned on ,
I am gonna leave u and my drama w a good feeling / thought :
Hey , could had be worse , right ? When dr F came back to tell me what the deal was , I thought for sure I ll hear the β cancerβ word . I mean , realistically , smoked cigarets like a moron for many years , and cigarets free only the last 4. So I was ready to hear the bullshit . Hey . Kidney stone not bad after all , right ? Right . I wish to nobody the pain that I had Friday or the dull pain that I have now . Better , I wish u guys know what foods / habits prevent kidney stone formations . Water ( plenty )/ citrus fruits / juice , cucumbers , bananas , and avoid as much as possible salt / high calcium intake / and Uric acid producing foods . Ok I am done . I love u guys . β₯οΈ
Stay healthy .β Wegonnamakeit β
Ps : the moment I pee that thing , u gonna hear about fireworks in Virginia Beach , bcz I am going to exhale like a happy dragon
Geez, that explains why I haven't heard from you in a few days... This shit is starting to freak me out, while I didn't know what it was exactly that kept you off of here for some days I had a feeling something wasn't right, but just thought maybe you got really busy and didn't have as much time to be active on here. My initial hunch was accurate again it seems. Anyways, hope you feel better soon. Oddly enough recently one of my cousins has been dealing with kidney stones too, and the following were a few sources I had shared with him, hope they are helpful.
Thank u spike !!! I am reading like crazy , yes and thank u !!
@Pralina1 Okay, we haven't heard from you in awhile... hope everything has been going okay for you? The flying spaghetti monster needs to answer my prayer dammit...
@SpikeTalon ohhhh
I figured my drama Queen ass needs to stop loading u all w my bullshit !
Passed stone a week ago finally , misery indeed , but back to β normal β ( well ..)
Walking around w a bottle of water , who me ? , the one that only drinks coffee , u know ?
Well fuck that , water , water , water
Never again , I ll make sure of that
@Pralina1 Good to hear you are doing better.
I hope you pass the stone out soon and get to feeling better! I'm so sorry you have to go back to work tomorrow! Try to get some rest!
Thank u sweetie β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
@Pralina1 You're welcome! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Had one once . Sick overnight . My neighbor , a retired nurse , called an ambulance for me . Spent hours in waiting area at hospital , and peed some blood before they brought me a diagnoses . Frankly , I think that's when it left me , but they checked me in and put me on medications to try to make it come out for a few days , not accepting that . When I got home again , the ambulance service sent me a bill for $13,000 . Admittedly they did check me out for a heart attack and such and drove me the less than 5 miles to the emergency room , but still ! ! ! I contacted my insurance company and the bill suddenly went down to about $300 . I feel for you . Those things are extremely painful with uncontrolled muscle contractions . A bit like throwing up or giving birth .
so glad it went fast for u
I know that pain. The first time was in the wee hours. When it woke me up I thought I thought I was dying. I got up out of bed and promptly passed out. I came around and called an ambulance. I was wailing the whole trip to the ER. Once they had xray evidence they gave me Fentanyl and I could finally breath.
Since then I've had two more such events, each one lasting close to a week before I finally passed them. I've learned to refuse the morphine and other drugs the ambulance teams offer me, because they don't help. When I get to the ER, I ask for it by name - Gaaaaaa! Give me Fentanyl!
I hope you don't have to wait a week to pass your little "best friend." I hear a lot of people say that this or that is as painful as giving birth, but kidney stones are the only thing I've heard actual mothers say that about. The only good thing about passing kidney stones vs having babies, is that, with the kidney stones, at least you don't have to raise them up!
and guess what ?? I never had babies either !!!
Yes I heard the same . Nothing yet , I am hoping thou . I hope u never have another one again
Hope every thing comes/came out o.k. All the best
happened to my mother. awful. she is super tough and that stone put her balled up on floor. only thing that touched the pain was dilauded. quite a corner to get around. ginger ale is the secret elixer.
Was she able to pee the stone out ? Yeah , dilaudid is strong , man , I ll die if I take this , or I ll sleep for 5 days . Narcotics and I not friends at all , not even in speaking terms.
