I have a five day weekend and a full bottle of vicodine. I had to go to the emergency room yesterday evening after I awoke to unbearable pain in my lower abdomen. I tried to tough it out, but I could tell something was seriously not right and called my sister to take me to the hospital.

How much does it hurt?
I said with a wince, "I'm here."
On a scale of one to ten?

What the fuck? I lack the ability to measure pain empirically.
"I have blood in my urine."
That got their attention.

I have a kidney stone. It's fucking fun. They gave me an intraveneous demerol-is-wonderful-cocktail and I finally fell back asleep while they ran dye through me and x-rayed my fun-lovin' ass. They woke me up and sent me home with an appointment for the urologist on Monday and a prescription for painkillers. The doctor told me that I only have one kidney. My kidneys didn't seperate like they were supposed to, but my kidney functions like two kidneys so everything is dandy. They gave me a strainer to piss through. Loverly.

I've been so out of it today...I almost put a dirty plate in my refrigerator instead of the sink, took a shower with my glasses on, and I went in the kitchen and saw that my refrigerator door had been left standing open for I don't know how long. Vicodine is my friend.

I hope you feel better real soon =(

In case no one told you, vicodin is habit-forming. So please take it only as your Dr. prescribed it. *hugs

yeah, he mentioned that to me on an AIM conversation we were having.

Hope you feel better GB.

Thanks...will you hold the strainer for me?

[ex-oki86.livejournal.com]

No, because you'll probably start humping the strainer or my hand. =)

Thanks, Invy...I'll be cool and the gang.

Aw, poor guy. Was lithotripsy not an option?

Yuck. Whatever happens, I hope it passes quickly and easily.

I hope you feel better...

My brother had a kidney stone and he said it wasn't fun to get rid of, but it was so nice when he finally could.

I'm sure if you ask nice enough, Wonka will take care of you.

He's thrilled that I'm not going to work...he's impervious to my physical state unless I'm asleep and he wants me awake.

Thanks, Sheroompa-loompa.

I'll be a homebody for a few days, so I'll leave ICQ on and try to catch you.

DAYUM, sorry you have to go through all that!! I hope it's as painless as possible, and I hope you feel better soon.

I just ask myself...what would Trent do? And then I lay in a fetal position for a few hours until I get bored and make depressing music with my computer.

[lunastar32.livejournal.com]

OoooOooo. . .

I want one too! Can I be as lucky as you?

Please I want to go to the hospital and get some "Loverly" drugs!

Call me if you want to trade places that day with me.

Come on over...I'll leave you the pills and strainer to piss through and go out and do things I'd rather be doing.
