Emergency room wrist band...
My Sunday ended on a nasty note. Sometime around 5pm I started getting this pain that was just like the kidney stones I had last year.
Sure enough. Within a few hours I was doubled over in pain. Took two pain killers and two extremely hot baths... as well as standing in the shower with the hot water running on my lower back.
The pain was so bad I called the Emergency Room. They had me come in to make sure. The nurse on the phone thought, from how I was describing it, that the problem might be abdominal rather than kidney... I didn't think so. But at least I could get a urine sample tested.
Yes, it was a stone. Some blood showed up in the sample... but the pain had subsided. The Emergency Room doctor(Dr.Miller, I believe) thought I had probably passed it... "That was fast"... this was the same doctor I had a few weeks ago when I ended up there for my neck... very handsome, slightly older doctor. He can nurse me back any day. ;-)
I'll go to my regular doctor this week for a follow-up and then probably to a urologist. Which I never followed through on last year... silly rabbit.
