I would drive five-hundred ... ow!

Hi blog! How have you been? Unread? Unwritten in? Oh well.

It was my plan to update soon with something, I just wasn't sure what. My brand new odometer said on Wednesday night that I had driven 1234 miles. All by myself! I was going to mention something when I hit 1000, but that mark came and went without my noticing. Of course, I should mention, this is since I got the car in September. So I'm probably averaging about 1500 miles a year? I don't drive very much, is my point.

I was planning on doing several things yesterday, Thursday, but instead I got to spend the night in the emergency room! This post is my way of letting you know that I spent Thursday night in the emergency room. This, after the very sudden onset of some very intense abdominal pain.

I had a kidney stone. What the hell! It was very painful. I must say that I was in considerable pain. Considerable. Pain. I've had very bad pain before. It's not that I wasn't used to that. But this was a type of pain I'd never had before, and it was in the abdomen, where there's so much that can go wrong. I didn't know if it was my appendix, or my ovaries exploding, or what.

It was a kidney stone. I don't know why I had one. But I think it's out of my body now. After around three hours of constant, horrible pain, and standing around freezing and moaning, I finally got to get shot full of all sorts of drugs. Then I was okay! Then my mother (who brought me to the emergency room) called my father, and I hung out with my parents while on three different painkillers. Trippy indeed. Then I had a CT scan and other tests, and then I think I passed the stone. Awkward!

I feel much better today, even though my side is still sore, and as the day has progressed I've felt more pain. They didn't mention if there's anything else going on in my kidneys, so I don't know if this is going to happen again. The internet hasn't been very helpful. I'm going to see my doctor on Monday. Also, I'm currently on Percocet. Wheeeee!

Tomorrow I will get back on my feet by going to an audition. But first I will go back to sleep.
