I am feeling very sick to my stomach right now. As most of you all know, I got my stent out of my kidney last Friday, well, I have been feeling horrible for the past couple of days. I have been running a low grade fever, have been having terrible headaches, my kidney has been killing me, and the nausea is unbearable. I went the doctor yesterday, and they tested my urine for an infection, and it was negative. I am just really scared that my kidney is blocked already, and if it is I will have to have it removed.

I told my doctor about my symptoms, and she prescribed me some antibiotcs just in case I am developing an infection. She also said that I might need time to adjust to not having the stent drain my kidney. I just can't take the nausea and the pain!!! I am eating fine, but as soon as I eat I feel really sick to my stomach. I know the nausea is due to my kidney, but I am still scared. The doctor said I have to stay home for the next week, and stay off my feet so everything can try and heal.
Is this ever going to end?? I thought as soon as I got the dam thing out, I would feel better, but I almost feel just as bad, and sometimes worse. I am so scared this surgery didn't work. I don't think I can handle another surgery, and I am sure I can't handle them taking out my kidney, and only leaving me with one. I am so scared. I just keep praying that everything will work, and I won't need to have my kidney removed.
Please send prayers my way, I am nervous. Thanks.
