Tuesday afternoon I went home from work with really bad cramps. Tuesday night I had blood in my urine...which isn't normal in my book! Since I don't have internet at home yet and couldn't Google anything, yesterday I went to the doctor. After talking with them for a while and giving them a urine sample, they sent me for a CT scan. They called this morning with the results. I have a "big kidney stone" (10 mm) that is blocking the flow of urine and the radiologist informed her that "something needs to be done about this". The nurse actually said, "Not to scare you, but if this stone moves...it's gonna hurt WORSE than labor!! Take 2 vicadin and go straight to the ER!" YIKES!!!!! Now I'm really freaked out! She's trying to get me in to a urologist so they can zap it...but that may not be until next week!
I would really covet your prayers right now. Pray that I can get in and get it zapped before it moves. (I don't feel the need to experience that pain!) Pray that if the stone does move, it's not when I'm at home alone with the boys. Thank you!
***EDIT***
Just got a call that the urologist appointment is Monday at 8:00 am. Pray I make it until then!

I will be praying for you! I know first hand that the pain is much, much worse than labor. Hopefully you make it until Monday so it can be zapped!
Bless your heart. Already been praying for you.
Yikes! That is a huge stone. Praying...
We're praying you make it until Monday- if it gets worse... head to the ER!!!
Wow. We will definitely pray for you!
You will be in our prayers!
Prayers are coming!
Wow! That is pretty big--plenty big enough to see even with ultrasound. Aren't you glad you know what it is now?
I had a 6 mm one a couple of summer's ago....NO FUN at all! THey zapped mine in the hospital... a "day" surgery. No pain after that, felt great! Hope it stays in place until it gets zapped...praying for ya!
Oh Staci! I too know what this feels like first hand... not fun! I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you.. hang in there!
