| more kidney stuff |

so, I've been hating things lately because all I can really do it seems is stay at home and take vicodin and wait for it to stop hurting. I watch TV shows, but it still sucks because that's about all my day consists of. it is worse that I am the only person in the house, so not only am I bored but I am a bit lonely too since Lisa is at albion. I am not supposed to work or drive while taking the pain medicines, but without the pain medicines doing anything is really really crappy because the pain is not enough to make me go to the ER but too much for me to want to hang out with people or work. I mainly try and sleep as long as I can, because it doesn't hurt when I sleep.
don't get me wrong, the kidney stone is out but there is a stent in which I apparently am not tolerating well. I either don't tolerate pain very well or don't absorb pain medications very well, because the doctor made this seem like the pain from the stent would be very minimal. I get it out tuesday morning. he told me about 5% of people think the stent is worse than having the kidney stone. I know the pain is not as bad, but its probably worse for me because the pain is always there and when I had the stone I went to the ER and they stopped the pain. here, I hurt most of the time, and the pain medicine doesn' help for very long, and I can't take more than I should because it can be very bad for your liver if you take so much in a day or so. plus it may just not be working.
anyways, tomorrow is the fire academy orientation. lets hope my pain is gone for at least that time. however long it is. I'm going to actually take some vicodin with me. it will be a regular hootenany.
p.s. my grandma died a day or so ago, so on tuesday after I get my stent out I will be going to her funeral in port huron. it's not that bad of a thing, she was 89 and we were all expecting it, she was in hospice and certainly ready to go. |
