Getting Better.....

So, I've had a rough week! Monday night I started not to feel well and by 11:30 pm I was in excruciating pain so I went in to the ER. They ordered an ultrasound and Catscan and found out I had a Kidney Infection, 12 MM Cyst that ruptured on my left ovary and 4 MM Kidney Stone! They sent me home with pain meds and antibiotics and told me to try to pass it on my own. I got home about 5:30 am and started vomiting-I couldn't even keep down my pills or water! So, I went back in at 10:00 am. They started IV's and ordered an X-Ray which showed my kidney stone was actually 6 MM and scheduled an Ureaoscopy to take out my stone. The surgery was 12:30 on Wednesday and they lasered my stone and put in a stent. I stayed overnight in the hospital and they sent me home on 5 medications on Thursday. I felt the worst when I woke up on Friday, so my doctor advised me to go back in! I was so sick of that place!!! I went back in and they said I was dehydrated and my body was "rejecting" the stent, which was causing pain so they took it out and observed me and sent me home. What an ordeal! I have a 50% chance of getting another stone in the next 5 years, but I pray I don't! It honestly is the worst pain, worse than labor!! I am recuperating at home, I'm just very tired and sore. God-willing, I will go back to work on Tuesday. Thank You for all the prayers!
