Kidney Stones… BLAH!

My New Years was spent on the couch, or in bed.. ehh… it wasn’t that bad – we had a close friend over New Years Eve.. watched the countdown on TV, had some snacks and good company.. but, the night before and after – I was in the ER with kidney stones!

First, if you’ve never had kidney stones… you’re lucky… they always say it’s what women feel like when they’re giving birth, and if that’s the case – ladies.. you’re now officially my hero even more so than before!

But, what exactly does a kidney stone look like?  Seriously.. this is the thing that has caused me to be in an insane amount of pain the past few days?  And something almost as bad as the pain the past few days, no more Diet Mt. Dew! 🙁

P.S. – Kudos to IU Saxony ER for taking care of me on Wednesday and Friday night!
