Saturday night about 11:30 or midnight I started experiencing some serious pain in my back right kidney. I had the sensation of having to go to the bathroom but nothing when trying to go. The pain continued to get worse to the point of being in tears.
At about 2am I woke up Sara Beth and told her I need to go to the hospital. We loaded the kids (Parker and Kallsen) in the car (we let Joseph sleep) and headed to Oconee Memorial Hospital. The ER was not busy and I was able to get in right away.
After discovering blood in my urine and with the pain in my kidney, they decided to give me a CT scan to see if I had kidney stone(s). The scan showed nothing...and by this time the pain had started to subside...either because I was given morphine and lowertab or the stone had passed from my kidney to bladder.
After all that I was given a prescription to lowertab and sent home with instructions to make an appointment with my doctor next week and to filter my urine to check for kidney stones.
I filtered and got a stone sometime Sunday morning. The pain is still there, not as severe, and I'm now hoping this is it.

Oh my gosh! That sounds painful! I am glad that it was nothing more (?) than a kidney stone, and that you are feeling better.
