Hi All,
Back in February I my side was hurting me with sharp pains and just had a
“gut feeling" that I had a kidney stone and wanted to make an appointment right
away but Pete, my husband, said “it's to cold, wait till it warms up". Since I
can't drive yet, I had to wait. I saw my urologist and he did an ultra sound
right in his office and said “…you have some small stones, I want you to go get
an x-Ray to determine if they are calsifie or not - you may only need to take a
pill for a few days and it will break it up"
I went today to get an x-ray in a near by hospital and it took five people
to transfer me to the table and they dropped me on the table. I had just gotten
over having a bad bed sore on my butt. I insisted the supervisor of the
department and Pete look at my butt, they said it was just red. I was
sooooooooo very upset I just couldn't stop crying.
