Hopefully this is something I can keep up with. I hope to write just of my everyday experiences as a mother, wife, daughter and friend.

Oh sh*t.
It happened. The deal breaker. The one thing I SWORE would keep me from ever even thinking about having unprotected sex again. I got kidney stones. Yep. Hospital stay and all. Not fun, just like last time. Last Wednesday I got up at 2 am, took 3 hot showers, and waited as patiently as possible to see Keenan off to school so I could go in and get something for the "GOD DAMN PAIN!". We took Branson to my moms house (woke the poor thing up at 6:30, sorry mom!) and was checked in by 7:15. By 8 I had my first does of morphine. I realized that morphine doesn't do jack for the actual pain, but it did make me pretty much care less about it for 30 minutes or so. The second time I took it in the shot form, and it lasted about 1.5 hours. But let me tell ya, your booty gets sore from being poked every 3 hours. So, we had an ultra sound, they told me there was complete blockage in my left kidney, and I needed to see the urologist. That was at like, 10 am. Finally at 3 pm, someone informed us that the urologist wouldn't be seeing me until the following morning, so I may as well get comfortable. At first I was PISSED. But then realized that it would give me time to hopefully move the stone, and have monitored pain management. My OB checked in later that evening and also let me know that it looked like they would have to put a stint in. Oh hell no. Uh huh. No way. No surgery, and, I've heard those things can be more painful than the actual stone. If that's even possible. I mean, I've never had to labor, but with kidney stones I've mentally written my will every time. The things flippin hurt. Longer story short, I stopped needing pain meds about 1 am, and obviously the stone had moved. Thank god! The urologist showed up sometime around 7 or 8, and I got to go home. 2 nights ago I passed the stone. I have to give it up for testing, so they can see what it's made of. I already know, its just calcium and I'm just one of those people that get them while pregnant. So excuse me, while I go down a gallon of lemon water. And in a few years, when I catch baby fever, please remind me of the god damn kidney stones.
