Kidney Stones

Well what started out as a "muscle pull" or so he thought turned into at least 6 kidney stones for my husband Chris over the weekend. Last Sunday he helped my Dad (along with my friends Vicki, Dan and Jen) put up the canopy on the boat and the next day Chris was sore and having a little pain. Well come Friday when he couldn't stand the pain anymore I said you are going to the doctor (we know a good one that is free you know!). So I get a text message from my Dad that says kidney stones (of which he has had them twice now too).

So Friday he got a shot for the pain and Saturday was on all kinds of medicine and after another shot on Sunday didn't work we took him to Riverview to be admitted and get rid of the pain. So after a long evening in the hospital they decided to have a procedure done at Community East on Monday. So I picked him up at 2pm and took him to Community East and I left there last night at 10:30pm alone again. He just didn't feel right after the procedure, of which they couldn't do the procedure to blast the stones b/c he had taken aleve and ibuprofen and they were afraid of bleeding. So instead he had a scope procedure that is really not super comfortable for him right now.

So right now he has 1 stone left in his kidney and we hope that passes this week!! I don't wish kidney stones on anyone after witnessing the pain that Chris has gone through this last week.
