first snowpocalypse then kidney stonemageddon...

I've been battling kidney stones since March 2010 popping a few out every few months. This last Monday, I was suffering through my usual aches and pains but my left kidney was hurting more than usual... as the day progressed it got worse and by Tuesday I was unable to stand up straight or move around much without terrible pain. It persisted through the week and finally yesterday I couldn't stand it anymore and went to the hospital. Since I am still unemployed (also since March 2010) I am sans health insurance and have to go to Grady. Nothing at Grady is quick or very pleasant... so I kept putting it off until Sunday.

Well I was there from 4pm Sunday until about 3am Monday and saw 2 doctors for maybe 10 minutes each, going over my medical history with both of them only to be offered pain meds and told to come back in the morning, which I did, but apparently not early enough as the walk-in spots were all filled up. Now I have to go again tomorrow at 6am to wait in line for the doors to open at 6:30am and HOPE that they can see me sometime that afternoon....

In the meantime I have to get my Rx filled which will take 2 - 4 hours (or longer if I leave the pharmacy building).

Needless to say, this has put a dent in my FitWit time and I am disappointed, but I don't know what else to do. I hope tomorrow's hospital visit will be more productive than last night's.

I hope to see you all real soon
