Another Stone Bites the Dust

Last night as far as sleep wise goes,didn't go so well. Tom slept like a baby, not so much for me.- It ended well, took Thomas to religion, watched some t.v., picked him up, unwound, kids went to bed, Then I went to bed, Snuggled,but then later on in the middle in the night , it decided to hit. My body decided to ditch another kidney stone. I have been having this problem off and on since I had switched my medication a few years ago. I'm supposed to be drinking more water, but I guess I'm not , and I guess it's my body's way of yelling at me and MAN I have no other means but to listen!It feels like you have the worst cramps or a hernia , it's hard to describe, I just know that its SOO painful !- They say not to lay down, but I'm in bed and its 1:30 in the morning! WHAT ELSE am I gonna do? I rolled back and forth , took some Tylenol, and Ibuprofen, praying it would kick in so so I could sleep. Course it took FOREVER, SO I just rolled and whimpered and got up and walked it off when I could . Finally around 4 AM I had to pee and it passed .THANK GOD! For such a small stone only a centimeter big it sure was painful! I feel sorry for all the men that have to go through this ! At least we women have a larger opening for it to pass down unlike you men - my heart goes out to you! What a relief ! I'm gonna go to bed early tonite {with a bottle of water} and catch up on some missed and needed and deserved zz's!
