havent been on here- was at ER w/ DH all of Sunday-LONG
havent had much time to post the last few days, its been crazy! DH has had some pain in his back and stomach on the left side on and off starting fri nite. he said early sat that he though he may have a kidney stone again(he had one like 10 yrs ago) since the pain was the same. by late sat nite, the pain was very severe, and he was doubled over in pain, but kept insisting he could just take tylenol. by early sun. a.m., i forced him to go to the ER, so off we went. they did a ct scan, and he has 2 kidney stones, they said that since they are under 5 mm, they wont do surgery. they had him on all kinds of morphine and other related pain meds, that were wearing off really fast. by the end of the day, they said they could admit him and keep him on pain meds, but they had no idea how long it could take for the stones to pass, could be days or weeks. or they could send him home with meds and a referral to see a urolgist. he took that option, and we came home, he was very uncomfortable, and vomiting from all the meds. yesterday we went to see the uroligist, who said the stones are still in the kidney, and offered him an option of doing a procedure in the hospital to go in & take them out, or he could try riding it out a few days more, and see if the bigger one passes. he can go back to the ER and the dr will set up the procedure if i see he is running a fever, or if he cant take it anymore. DH was a lil leary of having to go under to take them out for an hour, so he chose to go home with some antibiotics, and a med to increase the urine flow, and still take the pain meds. he was up the entire nite and feels the pain more in his lower stomach now more than his back, so he thinks it is moving, and hopefully he will pass it soon. i am totally exhausted too, and feel helpless, since i cant really do anything to make him feel better. He cant go to work like this, and wants it to pass already- but unfortunately its not happening fast enough.
anyone who has been thru this, please feel free to post your experience!
