For the past oh, 3-4 months I have had this nagging ache in the lower right area of my back. This "flank pain" as the doctors call it, is a familiar sensation to me. You see, I have had kidney stones at least 3 times now. So when I first felt it I just drank lots of water and hoped it would go away on it's own. For the most part, I only notice the ache when my body needs to be hydrated more or when I have too much water and need to use the bathroom. These are easy to remedy...either drink water or go to the bathroom. Well as of yesterday, the ache that easily went away with water is sticking around and is more noticeable through out the day. It's not so bad that I am rushing out to the ER or anything, however I think I will get an x-ray next week to confirm my suspicions. In the mean time I am taking my little friends Percocet with me everywhere I go, just in case. Kidney stones have not been good to me, so I am not taking any chances.
Well, my parents are here and so I guess that means that Dan and I get to go out on a date!
I'll keep you posted about my kidneys. Please keep me in your prayers...the last thing I need/want right now is another surgery!
