A Little Ride With Flashing Lights!

Well it has been awhile since I last posted a blog so I thought I would update everyone on what has been going on!

Well this past week on Wednesday I took a little ride in an Ambulance! Yes you read correctly and Ambulance! I was at work and after being there for about 3 hours I was having a really sharp pain in my lower right side, near my hip bone. I thought that I could just make it through my 10 hour day day but the pain was just getting worse. So on my break I headed to talk to one of my coordinators. He was asking me all these questions about my pain. Then he asked me if I wanted him to call the paramedics? I really didn't want him to because I really thought I could handle the pain but it was just getting worse so I finally told him to go ahead a call them. When they got there they asked me all the medical questions they have to go through. Everyone thought that it was my appendix because it was on my right side. So the paramedics said that they thought it was best to go to the Hospital. Well once at the hospital I got poked by lots of needles and had lots of tests run and finally they found out that I had a Kidney Stone! After they figured out what it was they really wanted me to stay the night but I was just ready to go back to my apartment to sleep and be with my sister.

I had been at the hospital all by myself and if you have never been there by yourself when you are in a lot of pain it can be very tiring. They are asking you all the questions, having you fill out the paperwork. poking you, and running tests. I was so exhausted. But I was definitely glad they figured out what was wrong. When I was finally finished I called Cori and she came to pick me up!

Well I did go to work the next day because really there is nothing I can do about it until it passes. All the people at work couldn't believe I was there. It is now Tuesday and I still have it! Hopefully it passes soon. It is no fun to be in pain all the time!

Well that is my exciting news so be praying that it passes very soon!!
