Wow girl*Bunny* said:Since I tell you all everything anyway, I might as well fill you in as to the events yesterday ...
My work day was spent in the ER, under instruction of my physician, because over the last 24 hours things got progressively worse than the usual ‘water dumping’ one can experience from a cheat meal / R & R / time off etc. (<-- using that as an EXAMPLE) Headaches, dizzyness, nausea to name a few...
For the record, I’ve had cheats that far exceeded a little weekend getaway so I can say with surety THAT really had Zero to NO impact on my situation (seeing I know my personal bill of health better than anyone, I think you can understand why that needed to be said ... I can't stand when others try to analyze a situation without all the little details which in my case make ALL the difference ... )
The previous evening you noticed I didn’t sleep at all, up every hour or so, and by the time I was out of the shower, I couldn’t lift up my right leg to sit up on the bed, without using my hand for a boost.
I felt like someone was standing on my lower abdomen & repeatedly punching my back right in the kids … all issues right side based, even down to my knee .. wtf…
It was as if I threw my back out or hurt something training, and then again, me lugging groceries & bags up 3 flights within minimal trips, I could have easily hurt something. So no use in trying to pinpoint any one thing, although it did help a little with keeping me calm, but the reality of my situation is I have kidney issues to begin with and no one thing would be the cause, and this was probably a long time coming.
For those that don’t know, the tumor that was found stemmed from a lymphnode in my right lower abdominal region. So the last time I had any symptoms remotely close to these, I was told I had cancer… tried NOT to panic as best I could.
Basically the ER doc gave me "You have a Rip Roarin' Kidney infection ..." diagnosis … after ruling out all other possibilities … although the potential for a possible kidney stone was not dismissed, just couldn’t be ‘confirmed’ , as with ANYTHING I have been through health wise….. such is my life of NEVER knowing why … you get use to it after awhile. So frustrating at times… but this is why I am as strong as I today and I regret nothing … Everything happens for a reason. At least it can be said at this time it is NOT the cancer and there is no futher damage to my right kidney.
I don’t feel like wasting any more time explaining myself and my diet/training/fitness lifestyle regimen … my health & situation is VERY different than the normal average person, and drawing comparisons is IMO not acceptable. In only a few hours, I received the info & results I needed to assess my situation, which normally would take at least a week ... should address the severity of my situation eh?& it was NICE to feel that the docs cared to keep on top of everything … again my cancer is a blessing.
Seriously throw out all of your medical journals for this *Bunny*
I’d rather be an enigma than like all the rest …
Plus the lady next to me being ‘difficult’ was hilarious …
“I don’t want no steroids, those things make me go wild …”
"So maam, are you refusing the medication?"
"What?! I never said that .. you're putting words into my mouth ...
Part two
“I need an extra large gown ... "
"Maam, those are reserved and made to fit patients weighing 300 lbs or more ... this gown should be fine"
"What?! I weigh 180 lbs ... and you're telling me I weigh over 400 lbs ... "![]()
Poor nurse

See I was thinking of you last night while I had my hunger pains.... and they went away!
I had a kidney stone before... It felt like somebody friggin kicked me in the low back... It was numb up the right side of my back and down through my butt. It went on and off for about 4-6 weeks until I couldn't sit/stand/walk/talk/etc.... and then it finally passed and I slept for a solid day. NO FUN Just take it as easy as you can, I know you know best
