I am now part of the club

Wednesday night I went to Tayler's final swim meet. The weather wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The meet was at Kino pool. They have done a nice job on their pool renovation. There is shade all around the pool and the pool its self is huge. Before I went to the meet my stomach was hurting but I thought that maybe it was the beginning of heartburn. Tayler did a great job. She got second place on freestyle in her heat, second on butterfly, and fourth on breaststroke. It was so fun to watch her swim this year and she did a great job especially since it was her first year.



Later that evening my stomach started hurting even more so I took some Tums and laid down to watch So You Think You Can Dance. By 10:00 I was throwing up. I was in a lot of pain and the nausea was horrible. I threw up ever 1/2 hour to hour the entire night and rolled around on the bed all night long. I did not sleep a wink the entire night. Half way through the night I took Pepito Bismol thinking it would take away the nausea. Nope it didn't, it just came right back up. By the morning I was throwing up blood, I had nothing left in my body. I figured that the blood couldn't be good so I told my husband I couldn't handle it anymore and to take me to the hospital. They actually got me right in and tried to give me my IV but that was a bit of a hassle because by then I was so dehydrated by veins had collapsed. So I was getting slapped and flicked and finally a vein showed up and whammo they shoved the IV in. I didn't care, I just wanted meds to help me feel better. They did a CT scan and found a kidney stone. Nothing big but it sure did cause me some pain and made me soooo sick.



As my husband made the call to family members I heard him say "Jen is now officially a part of the club." We don't know how I got the kidney stone because I am constantly drinking water and very seldom drink a soda. I am a healthy person but needless to say I am part of the club.
