Still exhaling anesthesia.

Someone really should invent some kind of anesthesia that has both a pleasant taste and smell *cough * *cough* ..

Anyway, I came here to share my story with all of you. Why? because the story is true and because I am still under the influence of drugs.

where was I? Oh yes...

Saturday eve, I made a post to Christine N. In this post I stated that the next day (being Sunday) would make an excellent day to take a break and do something different.

From there I proceeded to state the following:

I think I'll take my own advice and do something different as well. I don't know what that will be yet. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Perhaps I'll be spontaneous for once and see what happens. I wonder if I even know how to be spontaneous. lol what if I spontaneously combust? Now THAT would be different.

Click to expand...

I didn't combust however, it seems that my left kidney decided to spontaneously let loose with a stone that became lodged in my ureter causing it to dilate (to what looked like) the diameter of a garden hose! Weeeee how's that for spontaneous?

Despite my excruciating pain, I found that I was not able to spontaneously go the hospital like any sane person would have done. Oh no, you see...I had to shave my legs first. Shaving my legs was of critical importance considering that I work with the people who were about to treat me. No way was I going to let them see my hairy legs! I don't care how bad I was hurting. I'd rather be in pain than embarrassed. *shrug*

To make a long story short, the stone refused to come out on it's own. The doctor told my husband that it was big and long and shaped like an arrow head. Oddly enough, I've been wanting to go arrow head hunting lately. Little did I know that my kidney was making me one!

Good news is that the arrow head has been broken up. The bad news is that I still have several stones in both kidneys. Maybe I was an Oyster in a past life.

Pardon any mistakes I may have made. I have been juiced up on Morphine, Demerol, Versed, ...after that I lost count.

Thanks William. I have a stent in place now. I get the joy of having that removed on Friday.

Mostly I am upset because I've been doing all I know to take good care of my kidneys and yet they are making stones like crazy. It worries me.

I am sorry to hear that you are chronic William. That is a bummer. Looks like I might be joining the chronic ranks myself.

When I got the ER I told them I was a 7. The nurse who triaged me knows me pretty well and she said, "You look like a 10."

That is the only time anyone has ever told me I was a 10 which is not exactly the context in which I had hoped to hear it but... it did land me the biggest buzz I've ever had in my life! Oyeeee

Wish I could get rid of the anesthesia taste and smell.

Hello Jenna,

Hopefully William and I will somehow have a good turn like your mother did.

The doctor told my husband that he thinks they are calcium stones. I will know more on Friday when I go for my follow up.

I won't know what to do if they are calcium stones because I am supposed to be taking calcium supplements for my osteopenia.

Ehhh enough pouting on my part. I get sick of listening to myself complain. After all, isn't that what husbands are for? lol

Time for me to go reap the benefits of being in a sickly dependent role. I wonder how long I can get away with it before my husband makes me start doing for myself? ... I even get first choice TV privileges tonight!!


Goodnight All,

I'm going to work tomorrow. I'm not exactly thrilled about the idea of working with a group of individuals who have seen the sunny side of my disposition. Know what I mean?

If any of them so much as makes a wise crack, I'm gonna crack em' back with a reflex hammer.

I love my co-workers.

Did you know that while I was on Morphine and Demerol, I saw Froud characters coming from the the wood grain patterns on the the door to my room. That was fun.

I don't have a very high tolerance for medications especially when it comes to narcotics. Narcotics cause my sleep paralysis to get much worse. I had 5 episodes of sleep paralysis last night. That was not fun.
