Brought the New Year in with a bang

So I got home today... from the hospital! Two nights ago we were up late keeping an eye on the flood news since the news said the river right next to us was going to flood. When we finally decided to go to bed around 1am my side hurt a bit, now I knew I was having some sort of kidney infection, but I was drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice, not to mention sucking down the cranberry pills. Anyways, hopped into bed only to wake up at 2am in so much pain I thought I was going to die. Of course I had no idea what was going on, but I woke Andy up and told him he needed to take me to the E.R. So he got up and took me all the way to Olympia because all the roads to our hospital were closed down due to flooding. Well I had to sit in the waiting room for almost 3 hours, and when they finally took me back to the room I was about to die. I had been puking my guts out since the pain started and it was not getting any better. To make a long story short they found a 8mm (frigging HUGE) kidney stone in my left kidney and a horrible infection from it. So I had to have emergency surgery and got to spend a couple days in the hospital. The didn't even do anything for me really except to put a tube in to hold my urethra open. They had to push the stone back in because it would have made my situation a lot worse if they had tried to pull it out. So now I have to go to the doctor again in a week and they are going to hit me with sound waves to break up the stones, and then I have to try and pass them. Once they are out then I have to have another surgery to get the tubes taken out. Wonderful, I know. Anyways, I am pretty much in pain even with the drugs they gave me, so I am kicking in my room for awhile just watching a movie. I am super tired so I think I may sign off for now. Hopefully I will not hurt as bad tomorrow.
