Another Visit to the ER

This morning when I woke up, I had a horrible pain in my back and my side. I was going to let it go, but then the pain did not go away. I ended up calling my mom and telling her that I thought that I needed her to come home. She came home and said that we needed to go the ER. On our way there, my mom had to pull the car over because I got very sick. The doctor came in and did a CAT scan, blood work, and a urine test. The CAT scan showed that I had a stone leave my kidney and it is just kind of hanging out in my urethra. There really wasn't much that they could do except for giving me pain medicine and medicine for my nausea. The first go of medicine did not work because within 5-10 minutes I was throwing up again. The next go really did work, and I was able to rest for a while. My mom did great. She took care of me because the room was really cold. The doctor really doesn't want me going to school until I pass the stone. I have to pee into a strainer type thing to catch the stone, all the time! I am a bit worried about going so far away to college with all of these kidney stones that the doctor says are inside of my kidneys. I don't think that I could take care of myself and that worries me. I am praying about it. Even though Craig and Rhonda will be there, I think that I need my mom for this. Definetely going to be praying about this!
