Out now
So, I'm out of the ER. I got pain meds, and an ultrasound that showed a 1 cm stone in my right kidney.

That is one seriously big-ass motherfucking stone. The one I got lasered out of me was only half that size. That was four years ago.

The ER doc said I should see if I can pass it, and follow-up with my GP. I will probably do this and also go back to a urologist.

I hate urologists. They are the worst of doctors. Every one I have ever dealt with is either smug, arrogant, obnoxious, or just generally an all-around jerk. I would prefer not to have to see one again. But I really don't think I am going to be able to pass this stone and I would like to get it the fuck out of me as soon as possible.

I apologize for inundating my friends list with swears. I am just really aggravated and grumpy. I have a lot of work to do, and I had a lot of things I wanted to do, and now I'm not getting to do any of it. Grump.

I'm so sorry things are so rough right now! If I could come out there and give you a hug, I would. Instead, I will give you an icon with corgis in it, because they are cute.

It's funny, I actually really loved the urologist I was seeing for awhile back when I was really sick. He was super nice to me, and he was the first doc to actually take me seriously, and tell my other doctors that they were missing the big picture (in that I wouldn't be getting stones unless there was something else wrong with me, given my diet and whatnot).
