My daughter just drove herself to the local hospital and all I know is that she's there. I talked to the floor urse and all she could tell me is that they're doing blood work and the MD will see her next. She has abdominal pains radiating to her side and that her left hand went numbb as she walked in.
That's all I know for now.So please start the prayers up.
-
will do

Done.

Yes. ::praying::

Kidney stones!! They were going to give her pain meds and send her home so she could see her regular MD but the didn't do sh*t for her so they gave her Morphine and she stays in for tonight She's off the get scanned so they can see exactly where and how big they are I'm waiting for her to get back and call me if she's still awake.

Hoo boy. From what I understand, morphine is the only thing that steps on that pain. If the stones are too big, they'll laser-smash them into gravel.

I got to tell you that Kid should have been a boy. She is one tough SOB,her husband wanted to take her and she refused to take the baby out of the house and told him to stay home with the baby and she would go and deal with it. She called on her way in to ask me to talk to her till she got to the hoispital to make sure nothing happened and she would tell me what road she was on and where she was at any given time.
She didn't want to do this with her husband cause he has his hands full with the baby and the damned Mastiff with his operation only being a couple of days old.
What a night.
-
That's a good outcome. I'm sure she won't be thinking so until this is passed, but considering all things for which a person could make an emergency trip to the hospital... this is a good outcome.
-
so glad it's something that will be over relatively soon
-
Nothing worst than being so far from them.You just feel helpless to help them.

ain't that the truth
BUT then that when I always say I'm thankful to be living now (despite all the crap) and have a cell phone and a computer to keep in touch
-
I'm so sorry that your daughter is having troubles. She is fortunate to have so many who care about her.
-
You got a good girl there John, it's good that they have a bead on this and we'll keep praying that she will be successfully treated and returned to all her loved ones!

I have an uncle who has dealt with stones for years (lives in an area with well water, high mineral content) and he said only the high power pain meds even begin to work on that pain. I've read that kidney stones are ranked right up there with labor pains.
Glad it was nothing more serious JF.
-
kidney stones....I've had 3 and I can't describe the pain. Your daughter must be tough because I don't see how she could drive herself. My first one, the wife was driving and i'm in the back yelling FASTER!! FASTER!!!! No way I could drive.....
-
I paced the floors all night and she went home and didn't want to tell me because she didn't want to hear it. All she wanted was to get home to baby and hubby and she went to work this morning.I could strangle her but that's the way she is and I don't know where she gets it from.
She's on meds but at work. ::gaah::

...but that's the way she is and I don't know where she gets it from.

Glad it's not more serious. I hear it's EXTEMELY painful.

Takes after her daddy 'eh?

Her husband refers to her mothers looks and my bad attitude.She's stubborn insistant combative loving protective and an all round pain in the ass. But she's mine and I love her.

Of course she is and of course you do.
But what she did last night was stupid. And her husband needs a lecture as well.
If you'll excuse me for saying so and I hope you do.

I did one better,I told her grandmother what she did .And grandma reduced her to a crying mess and her hubby had to sit and take it.Nobody hands out guilt like mamma(aka the war dept).I got the call last night asking not to tell grandma anything I told her that I make no promises.
I told her that she as in such good shape as she was driving that she couldn't tell me exactly where she was with any accuracy and that was a problem for me.

I'm always grateful my kids learn hard lessons without any lasting, damaging effects and hopefully then they'll avoid the bad things.

Very true. It is hardly meddling, however, when she calls you smack dab in the middle of doing what she oughtn't. I'm relieved beyond rational that nothing worse happened to her while she was on her way and I hope she's feeling better.

She still hasn't passed the damned thing. But when you're as far as we are from her it's tough to enforce mush.But Sometimes I wish I didn't know what was going on and then if I don't know because somebody didn't tell me I'm a wild man. But we have a good relationship and yelling at her isn't going to help in the middle of itr. So I used Grandma as the heavy.

That's funny, JF; that's just how Gunsmith described it, "used Grandma as the heavy", word for word.

I remember the doc telling me the stone is close to passing and if you were my brother I'd request you pass it..... It took 4 days. Medicated. The moment I passed it, this weird feeling overcame me, blood in the urine, but I passed the stone. felt 100% in about an hour.
