Woke up at 2:00 AM in a cold sweat with the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime.
Had the Fred Sanford “This is the big one” feeling.
Finally gave in and called an Ambulance after an hour of misery.
Turns out I was passing my first ever Kidney Stone.
Discharged after 4 hours of poking and prodding and MRI’s.
I used to laugh at my buddies telling me how bad the pain from passing one was.
I’ve got a real high tolerance for pain and always thought I was pretty tough. 😳
It’s fuggin excruciating!!! No more Dr Peppers for me. 🤠
And let me tell y’all, Demarol and HydroMorophene is some good stuff ! Still flying high. 🤠
Getting old ain’t no fun at all. 😬
Old farts and their beetching are always good for a laugh....Being young isn't always a fun trip either....
NORA’S STORY
In November of 2017 our lives were turned upside down when our six year old daughter Nora, was diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Nora went from the happy, energetic life of a first grader to a life of hospital stays, daily medications, and chemotherapy overnight. She’s had to endure so much in the last 19 months, including 43 rounds of chemotherapy, IVAD surgery, numerous blood transfusions, and many invasive tests and procedures. Throughout it all the Kids with Cancer Society has been a constant support and provides some degree of normalcy during this life changing journey. From amazing family events to financial and school support, they have helped us feel like we are not alone. Nora’s Beaded Journey is already twice as tall as she is and still growing. Her beads are a way she can share everything she has been through, but can’t quite explain. Nora continues to go through treatment, but has been able to return to many of the things she loves such as swimming and gymnastics. Nora is an amazing and strong girl who, even at this young age, is passionate about helping other kids and giving back to the Kids with Cancer Society.
