Ding...Ding...Ding...Round 2!

Back in June, all of you know I had a dreaded kidney stone. It was not fun. When I found out that I had a kidney stone, they informed me that I also had 2 taking it easy in the kidney also. Great, I know. Well, one of those stones has decided to come out and play. I have not been feeling well all week and today I got confirmation that it is indeed a stone on it voyage. I have been in pain all week and taking pain meds like it was my job. The pain comes and goes as it pleases which is very irritating. I made a call to the doctors today to find out what am I suppose to do, just to make sure. They sent me right away to the hospital to have some x-rays done to make sure my kidney was not inflamed since I have been having problems for 4 days. My kidney looks ok, but a stone has dropped. I was given 2 options. 1. Keep taking Vicodine and rest at home or 2. be admitted to control the pain until it passes. I chose #1 that is unless I can not manage my pain on my own. I was hoping to spend some quality time with my kids this week before I have to go back to work next week, you know lay poolside, but that has not happened given the situation. Hopefully, I pass it soon so I can enjoy the weekend.
