I have a WHAT???

So it's Sunday night and I just finished watching another juicy episode of Desperate Housewives and I head to the bedroom to get ready for bed. All of a sudden I get this excruciating pain in my abdomen on the right side. Well if you know me at all, you can just imagine how worked up I got. Straight to full panic mode. So we head to the hospital where I am admitted pretty quickly, which was surprising to me, because nothing is ever quick about an ER visit. They draw blood, give me some pain medication and do a CT scan to find that I have a kidney stone. Excuse me, a what??? All I could think was, "Great, isn't this that ONE thing that people go through that they say is WORSE than giving birth?" And then they proceed to tell me that mine is on the larger side...just. wonderful. They send me home with some Percoset and all I can do is hope that it will pass. Until I go to the urologist on Thurs. and he decides that we're gonna zap this sucker to bits and pieces so that it will pass more easily. Unless of course I pass the stone before my appt. for this outpatient procedure on Tues. Well, it's now 12:28 a.m. on Sat. and nothing is happening with my little friend who's camping out in my bladder. Man, nothing ever wants to come out of me...first I thought Norah was going to be inside of me 'til she was 18 (thank God for medical intervention) and now this thing. At least with Norah, I had a beautiful little girl when everything was said and done. I just want this thing out already, so I hope and pray this procedure is successful! When I put things into perspective, I am very thankful that it wasn't anything more serious. This too shall pass (no pun intented)...
