No Kidney Stones

I went and had my radiation this morning and the radiologist wrote me a script to get an xray to rule out kidney stones. Because last night at 2:36 am I woke up and thought someone was repeatedly stabbing me in the back, it was horrible, I was up for hours. Finally feel back asleep at 5:50am only to be back awake at 6, oi!!

I went and had the xray done and it showed no kidney stones, but the radiologist wanted me to go to the ER to see what it was, they wanted to rule out any metastasizing of my spine. That was a scary thought, we went straight away. Checked in the ER at 9:30ish and they immediately set me up with an IV and some really good drugs that took all the pain away. Then I went and had a CT scan and then I waited and waited and waited and waited.

FINALLY, they came back and said I had no cancer in my spine, I had no kidney stones, I had a really bad muscle spasm and gave me more really good drugs. While that's all well and good that I have the drugs to help me out, I can't take them, they are all "do not drive" drugs. So hopefully I can take them at night and slowly this horrible pain will go away!!

Thank you so much for all your prayers and calls (messages, texts, emails) this was a scary day for me, I was terrified when I thought I might have cancer in my back, so very grateful that I don't!!!!
