Pain

So monday of this week, I woke up in extreme pain in my back. I knew right away what it was, my 6mm kidney stone acting up again. I have been carrying around this thing for a year now, and its aggrivating when it hurts off and on. Well, monday was the worst pain I think I have ever been in, in my life. Felt like literally being stabbed, I could not lay down, sit down, walk, nothing. Not to mention throwing up 15 times in the course of 3 hours was a real blast! Thank God I have an awesome wife to the rescue. The doctor she works for heard the commotion on the phone, and prescribed a pain medication to me, as well as an anti nausea medication. On her lunch, she spent her last 30 bucks on me, rushed home, gave me the medication, and told me to sit still. I did. This was 11AM. I didnt wake up or move until 6PM. So the drugs knocked me out.

Tuesday the pain was still there, but not as bad. I thought I passed it, but I was wrong. I took a few pain pills, and went on with my day.

Wednesday night, on the advice of my wife and her nursing knowledge, I took a pain pill, and drank two 16oz beers, provided generously by my father in law. Thanks, they were great! I watched some old Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, and Rush concerts on DVD, and kinda enjoyed the moments of no pain. I got tired, and went to sleep.

Now that I am sober, I am wondering why two beers of that size, didnt send me to the bathroom, like they should have, to help pass this damn thing. I didnt even visit the 'room once. So I cant help but hope there is not a blockage. Interesting.
