Well, this Wednesday, I went back to the Kaiser ER again for horrendous pain in my side. They admitted me to the ER and gave me my first ever IV. It was an interesting feeling of the saline solutions coursing through my veins. It was like there was ice water flowing up my arm from my wrist, where the IV was put in. They gave me 2 liters of saline and some Morphine. The Morphine had NO effect on my pain (just to give you an idea of how bad it was). They ended up giving me Oxycodone, which DID take away the pain after 2 injections of it.

They did confirm kidney stones after a CT scan. I just have to wait for them to pass. I have been drinking a LOT of Cran-Grape juice and water to help them pass. Apparently, it is going to feel like I am giving birth when I do pass them! I am not looking forward to it. I have a prescription for Percocet, which will help with the pain if I need it. Lets hope that they pass with no pain, and I won’t need it.
