Sick
I have been sick lately with kidney stones. Actually, I've been having trouble for several months. But today they are especially bad. I'm supposed to have Lithotripsy (where the doctor blasts them into tiny pieces) next week. I hope the stones stay put and don't try to pass sooner because the pain is seriously killer pain! It makes me feel like I'm gonna die.
I don't know why my body is such a stone producer, but I don't feel too alone in this since I know some of you who also blog have kidney stones too. I'm not looking forward to going under general anesthesia either. It always scares me.
But despite being sick, I was able to manage visiting teaching this morning. It's a good thing I could just sit really still and not have to chase after kids because I doubt I could have handled it otherwise.
Maybe I can find the energy to do a little something else productive today if my body allows me.

Ugh. I am soooo sorry! I have never had them but heard they can sometimes be more painful than childbirth. Hang in there...hopefully all will be better next week!
I am so sorry you are hurting. I hope the blasting goes well! I will be keeping you in my prayers!
How horrible that you are continually plagued with this kidney pain. I really hope it resolves soon. Blast away!
I'm so sorry! I have heard that they are terribly painful. Take care of yourself. We will be thinking of you.
