A Kidney Stone...

Everyone gets excited when you get a break from school right? The days go by so slow when you know you are getting to go somewhere over that break!
Well for me, the week went by so slow before Thanksgiving break. I was supposed to be heading out to Texas to see Zack and I was so excited to see him! The minutes become hours, the hours become days and its the worst when days become weeks! Mom always tells me "Dee its only been a week since you've been away from him" but she doesn't understand that it feels like months. So as i was getting excited about flying out to see him, i remembered that I had a test the same day i was supposed to fly out! I tried to email my teacher and see if i could take it a day earlier, but she never responded. I began to get stressed out and that day I went to class and talked to my math teacher in person. Well it didn't work out the way i planned because she made me take the test that very same day and I had not studied for it. So i decided to sacrifice my grade so i could go see Zack Tuesday morning. It was the worst test i've ever taken because i literally just marked answers down.
I guess you can say love powers over all things ha! So I began to pack sunday night so i could focus on my last two classes that I had to go to on Monday. I was already nervous about flying by myself for the first time, but not so nervous that I couldn't eat. For some reason Sunday night I couldn't eat anything and I went to bed really late. I have a heating blanket on my bed so I fell asleep as soon as I laid in bed, but I didn't sleep very long that night. I kept waking up that night with a bad pain in my back. I knew I was about to start having cramps because it was my time of the month ha, but I had never felt this kind of pain before.
I waited till it was a decent time to call zack and by that time i was balling my eyes out. So this is Monday morning around 8 am and I randomly thought i could maybe have a kidney stone. As Jeremy tried to help me and talk me through fixing the pain, it only got worse.
Zack told me to go wake up Brittany because Jeremy told me i was going to have to go to the hospital if i was dehydrated and I definitely was since i had not ate or drank anything since saturday. Zack didn't think I was going to go wake her up so he called her for me and woke her up, I was so slow because the pain was awful, but i did finally make it in there crying and she got up right away. She drove me to the Health Center that we have here at school and I told them I couldnt wait because i thought i had a kidney stone. Well the lady tries to tell me that they cant do anything for me and i about screamed!
The nurse took me to a room right away and left me in there for about 15 min! They told me I just had a bladder infection and I flipped out telling the doctor that there is no way this is just a bladder infection! I explained how much pain I was in and the area in my back so then he decides "well maybe you have a kidney stone" ha. No duh, i've been telling you that the whole time sir! Man, so as i was still balling my eyes out he decides i need to be put in the hospital side of the center. I walked through the waiting area to the other side balling and Brittany came in after me. I laid down on the hospital bed and they started to give me an I-V. I think i might have been holding BK's hand because im so scared of needles.
As the lady started to give me the I-V i turned my head, she got the I-V in but walked away and pulled the whole thing out with her foot! Talk about painful! So blood was going all over the bed and she had to put it in again and if that didnt make things worse then i dont know what did.
I told Zack not to tell my mom that i was there because i knew she wouldn't let me go to Texas if she did! I thought it would all be ok after i just got some medicine, but it wasn't. The first bag of fluid and drugs was making its way through my I-V and I was out like a light. Bk says I kept asking her for my phone, but she knew i was sleeping so she never gave it to me. I dont remember any of it, but I was talking to Zack right before and I thought i was still talking to him i think. Before I knew it i woke up because i had to pee so bad and MY MOM WAS THERE!!! I couldnt believe my eyes because i didnt want her to know i was sick ( I still thought i was going to Texas). Mom took care of me and talked to zack the whole time so Bk could go to class.
Mom told me I talked to Zack on the phone, but i didnt remember. He was so worried about me that he asked my mom to talk to me and both mom and Zack said the only thing i talked about was getting to see zack in texas "At The Beach" haha. He felt so bad that he wasn't here to take care of me and was telling me that "I would do anything to get him back home" I just laughed and told him i couldnt help it.
I was in the hospital bed from 8:30 am -6pm and my mom was there by my side the whole time! I was so thankful to have someone there for me, especially since she left work as soon as she got the call! Every time i had to go to the bathroom they had to strain it to look for kidney stones. This one particular time it was really hard for me to pee and when i got up there was something in the cup. I JUST KNEW I HAD PASSED THE KIDNEY STONE!! I felt better after that, even though i was still on drugs I felt better because the pain WAS GONE!! I was so happy until the doctor tried to tell my mom it wasn't a kidney stone. I about flipped out because i felt better after i passed it and everything. He came back and apologized for being wrong. I couldn't believe what i was hearing, even though i was on medicine i knew what was going on! It was awful and i just wanted to get out of that place!
So when they let me go, mom told me that Andrea and Cody were on their way to Carrollton to get my truck since I couldn't drive. I had this whole day planned out because Monday nights is Hills night with the girls and i was going to go to class and finish packing and watch the show with the girls. Then i was going to head home that night so I could be taken to the airport Tuesday morning, but God had a different day planned for me.
Lets just say you gotta take the good with the bad. Yes the Kidney Stone was the worst pain i've ever had in my life, but I thank God even to this day that I passed the stone that very same day! Even a kidney stone wasn't stopping me from seeing Zack, although he was already trying to make plans to come home and see me even though i didnt know it!

Im so glad things worked out even though i had to take a severe detour! Im thankful im not in anymore pain and that i got to see Zack over Thanksgiving! Its a time to be thankful and i was definitely thankful :)
