Well asmany of you know about my kidney issues, I was having really bad pain in my kidney so I had my boyfriend take me to the hospital. Five hours later we are finally home. The pain started this morning and didn't go away so 12 hours later I figure- I should have it checked. I had to first pee in a cup, they found infection so they sent me to CAT SCAN. My kidney was so enlarged, that they had to call the oncall urologist to see what should be done. I thought for sure I was going to be admitted and have to have surgery in the morning. So he came in and the did this horrible test on me. They put a catheter in and let my bladder drain, then he clamped off the catheter and injected me with 600cc's of contrast and took a series of x-rays to see if my kidney was blocked. I have never felt pain and discomfort the way I have felt tonight. As they were injecting the contrast I was crying and begging and pleaing with the doctor to stop cause it hurt so bad. It was the single worse experience of my life so far...and I have been though alot this past year with 3 kidney surgeries.


The good news is it wasn't blocked and I got to go home, the bad news, I have to go to the doctor on Friday and schedule my surgery, I still have to have a surgery, just not tomorrow...


Needless to say I had a tough night. But I made it though it and I am proud of that...and I defenitly couldn't of done it without my boyfriend, he is amazing and stood by myside and held my hand the whole time.
