Its true, kidney stones are just as painful as giving birth!

Sorry I have been away from blogging for so long. I was busy passing kidney stones! Yes ladies and gents, it is just as painful as giving birth! I woke up one morning with pain in my back on the right side! I couldn't walk and was trying to hold in my screams so the kids wouldn't get scared. I told Camron I was working on my dinosaur sounds! Ben said enough was enough and loaded all of us up and headed to the hospital. They took me right back and got the process going. They had me doing cat scans, blood work and an IV. I had to wait for the results on the scan before I could have any pain meds. But there weren't many options since I am still nursing. The first drug they gave me just didn't cut it so onto the narcotics we went. They gave me dilaudid and boy that thing took care of the pain right away! I had to tell the nurse to stop putting it in my IV! I DO NOT like feeling like that but anything was better than the pain I was having. I came home the same day after they told me that I have multiple kidney stones in each of my kidneys. Multiple meaning more than 5! I followed up with a Urologist who tells me that I am one of his youngest kidney stone patients! Gee thanks Doc! They are running test on the stones and I will be doing blood work etc. He thinks the stones may have formed during my tough pregnancy and lyme disease. We will see. Now we just sit back and wait for the other stones to come out when they are ready.



Okay so I am back to the blogging and looking forward to sharing the funny things that go on week to week with The Wolfe Family!
