Kidney stone? UTI?
Stop! You're both right.
So I woke up just before midnight on Sunday night with BLINDING pain in my side. This was the first time I was truly glad to be living with my parents. My mom happened to still be awake and once she saw me, she said, "We're going to the hospital." Poor thing had to drive my car there (no power seats which proved difficult) but luckily it's like 3 minutes from my house. Of course they couldn't give me anything until they could check my urine. Well I couldn't urinate because I just had done so at the house thinking that would get rid of the pain. So there I am, writhing in pain and willing myself to, well, you know. I finally did after two cups of water and they found blood in the urine. So before I was hooked up to an IV, my dinner decided to come back up. That was fun. Next up, CAT scan! I never had one of those before. Finally around 2:45am, the doctor came in to discuss the CAT scan. Not only did they find a small stone but I have a cyst on my kidney that was nothing to worry about. Alrighty, if you say so. Plus they threw in the fact that my right ovary is not only enlarged but attached to my uterus. Fascinating.
I'm guessing this is more than anyone needed to know about me, eh? Anyway, I've been dealing with lots and lots of residual pain. One weird one is a sore tummy that feels like I've done 1,000 crunches. That's better today but was pretty painful yesterday.
I'm really, really looking forward to being all better. Especially now that it's fall, my favorite time of the year!

Your ovary is attached to your uterus??? Has it always been like that or is that a temporary condition? I've never heard of that before.
I hope you feel better soon, too! It sounds awful!
I'm just glad you're doing ok! Take it easy girl! I have a tilted uterus- but that supposedly is pretty common as well.
go figure.
Tilted uteruses, attached ovaries...I had no idea so much could be going on down there!
