My husband is a rolling stone....

Or rather...My husband HAS some rolling stones! The kidney type! Kidney stones hath hurt thee! ...it came about at 1am on Sunday morning....we had just returned from a friends wedding, so the immediate suspect was food poisoning when he rushed to the commode in violent bouts of vomiting.....and the abdominal pain.....OH, the PAIN!....when the pain only worsened throughout the day, we finally made the call to go to the ER....so, at 6pm, we loaded the poor guy up and hauled him in....he was seen right away, but the tests took a lot of time to run and get back...several suspects were identified, none of which was food poisoning though.....turns out he made an unfortunate introduction to his first kidney stones...He's the proud papa of his very own TRIPLETS! If' you've had the misfortune of experiencing kidney stones, you can relate....if you haven't, you are very fortunate....from what I saw and heard over the past 24 hours, it is no joke! He's a trooper! Needless to say he'll be home at least one more day drinking LOTS of water and getting LOTS of rest....when the stones finally pass, based on the agonizing whimpers and fretting I have witnessed thus far, I suspect they will look a lot like this....


OUCH!



Happy Health,
Leah
