On Sunday 3/13 I started having extreme pain in my right lower abdomen that radiated to my back. I told Madelyn to continue playing with Christian while I went back and forth to the bathroom every few minutes feeling like I had to go to the bathroom and becoming very nauseus. I called Nathan to let him know I wasn't feeling well and he said he would be home as soon as he could. In the interim, I started vomitting and was back and forth to the bathroom every few minutes. After about 30 mintues, I called Nathan again asking him when he was coming home. Madelyn and Christian were playing together so nicely which made things a little more tolerable.
I decided I would wait a little longer before entertaining the idea of going to the ER. After about another 45 minutes I was writhing in pain, unable to get comfortable. On the way there we had to pull over... yuck. It certainly didn't feel like the flu. I got in a room pretty quickly and was started on morephine. Nathan was impatient so he walked to radiology to get the CT results. To my surprise, it was a large kidney stone causing all the trouble. They decide to put a stent in and have me come back later to treat the kidney stone. I told them I had to get back to my kids as soon as possible and I have to make it to Chicago on Thursday as planned. During the recovery, I literally felt like a 90 year old lady with these issues.
The Chicago trip was a success! We found the perfect house for us in Forest Park, IL. It really has everything we are looking for, and Kotter gets to come as well. I am very excited that Madelyn's school is only a few blocks away as well as the train to get to the city.
