I had ANOTHER kidney stone on Friday. It started while I was at work, and I was trying to wait as long as possible to leave, thinking maybe it was just the way I was sitting, so I did a few laps around the department and when things began to get worse, I decided to call my mom and meet her at the ER. When I got there, they asked about my medical history, which is usually not a great thing to do. As soon as the nurse heard my list, she brought me right back to a trauma room so they didn't have to wait to get me hooked up to an IV and some pain meds.
The nurse was the same one I had when I had my Last Kidney Stone, it's always nice to see a familiar face when you are in pain! I got IV antibiotics, pain meds, and went on home.
Saturday, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and noticed my face looked red and blotchy, I didn't think much of it but when I woke up this morning it was purplish and had filled in the rest of my face. I went to my PCP and had some blood tests, which I will find out about tomorrow. I had a nosebleed on the way home, and the site where they drew blood was still bleeding an hour later. I put on another bandaid, and well see if that helps I am waiting to see if I need to go to MGH or if I can wait to lab results tomorrow. I'll keep you updated!
