Today kind of sucked. My kidney started to hurt shortly after I woke
up and never really went away. I went to work, despite the
discomfort and thankfully made it through my shift. I spent a lot of
my time with my eyes closed, trying to pretend my kidney didn't
really hurt. The rest of my time was spent reading, both a book and
the newspaper.
My current kidney theory is that my stone almost completely blocked
my left ureter. My basis for this is that I didn't seem to be going
to the bathroom as much as I should have been considering the amount
of water I was drinking. And, shortly after drinking a good amount
of water, my kidney would start hurting and my left side would become
sensitive to touch.
I had a few crackers for dinner but spent most of the night feeling
nauseous. I also did a lot of jumping up and down, with some time
spent curled up in a ball on my heating pad. Needless to say, it was
a long night. My goal was to put up with it through the night and
then go to the ER on Sunday if things hadn't improved. It is now
close to 4:00AM but I think I can finally go to bed. Not because my
kidney is all good now, it still hurts, but combined with my heating
pad and just the right position (and being completely exhausted), I
think I can get some sleep.
