Sorry things have been so quiet on the blog lately. After 2 1/2 weeks of kidney stone related pain, I think I now have a small inkling of what it must be like to have chronic pain. My biggest mistake was not realizing that the pain would not end when they removed my kidney stone via a procedure on Monday. They got the huge thing out, which is good, but replaced it with a stent to prevent swelling.
Once I got home, the meds started wearing off, and I started feeling the stent, I was horrified. My body screamed “Get this thing out of me!” It just feels wrong. I’ve since discovered a few solutions to help ease some of the pain until the stent comes out on Monday, but until then I’m just sort of hanging in here.
I hope you’ll bear with me and come back because I have two great reviews coming up, as soon as I feel well enough to write them. Thank goodness for amazing friends who are helping with my kids, my laundry, school pick ups, and morale boosts! I don’t know what I’d do without them or my wonderful husband.
🙁 Oh that sounds painful! Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. I hope your weekend passes quickly so you can get that thing out!
I’ve been wondering how you were! Hopefully it’s getting easier to manage and Monday is ALMOST here!
