Woke up about 40 minutes ago with three distinct pains in three different areas of my body. None were around my abdomen which is where I expect my pain to radiate from. Thought I might be hungry so I grabbed a yogurt and started in, no relief. Tried a hot shower, stretching, breathing exercises and my pain meds, nothing seems to be helping. I would put it around the 4/5 on the pain scale, just enough to make me uncomfortable and unable to focus on anything else.
I decided, while showering, that I would wait 1 hour, till approx 4 am, before deciding if I needed to go the ER and have my kidneys checked out. I have a stone that is just waiting to get out and I am unsure if this is the start to her descent. Yes, it is a she. Her name is Claribelle. Claribelle had a younger brother, Charlie who came out in March 2012 and boy was I a proud mama when that was complete. Passing a kidney stone is pretty high on the list of things I don't ever want to do again. Also on that list Petocin-induced laboring for 3 days without food for my first child, and getting an infection in my Cesarean wound that caused me to bleed for 3 months straight.
Sitting in bed or laying in there are not an option. They are making the pain worse. I have migrated to the kitchen table to take my pain groans a little farther away from my parents room. I would hate to wake them.
I am so thankful that I got 6 hours of sleep before this hit. I am thankful that I had yogurt on hand to divert my focus and I am thankful for this outlet, where I can be brutally honest about what is going on.
