Is it too early to call a do-over for the new year?
New Year's Eve started out fabulous, we had drinks and food and friends and family and it was awesome! And then around 9:30, my lower back on the right side began to hurt. I went upstairs to lie down and then began puking. And the pain was worse and there was more puking. So not fun... I passed out (fell asleep, whatever) at some point and missed all of the midnight celebration.
Around 4am the pain was still there and I couldn't even keep water down. The lucky thing was we had lots of family and friends staying the night so Greg took me to the local emergency room. A CT scan later and yep, kidney stones again (I've had them once before, a little more than 10 years ago while pregnant with the twins). I kinda thought that's what it was but it seemed like drinking and junk food were the more likely cause of an upset stomach at the time.
I spent Jan 1st sleeping off the vicodin. As far as I know, the stone hasn't passed yet (I have a strainer, blah...) and I have to see a urologist sometime next week. Leave it to Steph to point out, "it can only go up from here." Here's hoping.
(Right, I think I'll keep the blog around for a bit longer. I probably just won't post as often. Still debating on Facebook. Thanks for all your comments!)
