It was a crazy day today...

It all began when I started having lower abdominal pain about 3 days ago...

Day One: Why am I cramping? It's NOT that time right now. How uncomfortable.

Day Two: Hmmm, maybe I have an ovarian cyst. I got an ultrasound (perk of working at a women's clinic!) and yes, I indeed have a small cyst but nothing to get worked up about.

Night Two: My lower back on the left side only is Really hurting. My lower front side is Really hurting. I am now in severe pain that radiates around my left flank. I'm poppin' ibuprofen like candy, pain lets up, I'm good for the night.

Day Three (Today): Pain while getting ready for work and has become severe by the time I drop Mason off at my parents'. Drive to work in SEVERE pain and am in tears by the time I arrive and state to anyone that will listen that I need to see a Doctor!
Pee in a cup. Have Exam. Discuss with Dr. what might be going on...

Diagnosis: Kidney Stone!

Sent to Regional for an IVP (contrast injected thru IV to show up on x-rays)
Wayne picks me up, we fill out paperwork, get bloodwork done.
Wait for THREE HOURS!
Then I have x-rays for about an hour & a half.
They will call my Dr. the results and he will call me.
Eat lunch at 3:00pm.
Forget to swing into the pharmacy to pick up pain meds. (good one)
Pick up Mason.
Get call from nurse saying that the x-rays showed nothing!
Ugg.
The nurse assures me that my symptoms are "classic" for kidney stones and that maybe I had already passed it/them. OR...they may have been too tiny to see on the x-ray and I will still have to pass them sometime soon.
Will get pain meds in the AM!!!
Wish me luck!
