watch the video, it's funny and i like Friends...
yep that's right, i had a kidney stone! ouch mama! i tell you that was the worse pain i've ever had without an epidural! NO FUN! i woke up at 5 on friday morning, with pain, not too bad, thought i had to use the potty, so i did, then i drank a whole bunch of water because i know i haven't been drinking enough lately, and i was hoping that would help...by about 5:30 or so i was in a lot of pain and by 6 or so we were on the way to the hospital, because i was writhing around on the floor...and it always take a long time at the ER....we got back quickly but then it took a while for them to see us, and get a doctor in there and get some medicine and go have a CAT scan...so diagnosis was 3mm kidney stone...and they gave me prescriptions for percoset, phinegrin, and flomax, with strict instructions to DRINK a lot and flush that stone out. not a good day, i have to tell you, i felt so SICK! and when the medicine wore off and i needed more, forget it! very much pain...but Friday night a friend took E and A to our ward Trunk or Treat and Blake stayed with Kendall and me, and i finally passed the stone (TMI?) and i couldn't believe how much better i felt! still felt slightly sick and dizzy but 800% better really. this morning i felt good, once i got moving around, i found that i am having some headaches and i am a little sore so i'll rest and hopefully tomorrow will be even better.
MORAL of this story: make sure you take care of yourself and DRINK a lot!

Yikes! That is no fun! Joel had kidney stones when we were dating, and I remember him shaking with pain in the ER. I'm glad you're feeling better now!
Jen I'm so sorry. What a terrible ordeal of physical pain after everything emotional that's happened. I'm really glad you are home and feeling 800% better. We missed you at park day yesterday and everyone was so sad to hear where you were. Thanks for the reminder to drink more water!!!
Oh my goodness!! You poor thing! I have hear it is the worst pain ever! Glad you are on the mend!
Definitely something I would never want to experience. Could you imagine having something like that happen without modern medicine to tell you exactly what's going on, how to fix it, and ease your pain (albeit not very much by the sound of it...)? I shudder to imagine the pain. Glad you are feeling better, though!
Awful! So I hear about these kidney stones. Kidneys are just unkind all around when they get sick! And not TMI! I felt relief for you just reading about it!
Oh no! Ouch! Glad you didn't need surgery! I'll be drinking lots of water now...
That's terrible! I'm so glad it's over! Can you replace diet coke with water? If not, I may be in trouble!;)
Aw man! I had one when I was pregnant with Elodie and let me tell you I thought I was in labor! It was awful! Hope you are feeling better! Love you!
I am sorry! I have only heard it compared to really painful not good things. I haven't experienced it. Feel better like a 1000% better. K?
Oh no!! I had one too a long time ago...I remember the pain. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Take care of yourself!!
