Yup, you read it right... KIDNEY STONES!!
We were on our way to Snowbasin for our last day of boarding. I was planning on spending the day in the lodge with the kids that weren't boarding. That plan didn't come to fruition.
We got to the mountain, after a slow drive up the hill due to LOTS of snow, and I immediately didn't feel that great. To be honest, I thought I just needed to poop. I wish that was the case. I went to the bathroom and felt like I was being stabbed in my back over and over and over again. I crawled out of the stall and made my way out into the lower lobby where one of the kids went to get ski patrol.
Made my way upstairs to the main lodge where I would puke my guts out in front of anyone who enters the lodge for the next hour until the ambulance came. Yes, the ambulance. Due to the snow and the fact that I was up there via bus, the ambulance was really the only way to get to the hospital. So, 1st, and hopefully the only, ambulance of my life.
In the ambulance, they gave me 5mg of morphine... didn't help, not even a little bit.
They took me into my little room. (Josh came with me... he is a CHAMP!!) They gave me LOTS of good drugs to make it so I didn't feel a thing. Josh kept me comfortable and just hung out so I didn't have to be alone. Again, he is a champ.
The ride home to San Diego was full of puking, constant nausea, discomfort, and being REAL out of it cause of the medicine!
Finally, made it home on Christmas Eve. The next 4 days sucked. I was either throwing up, sleeping, or doubled over in pain. There were very few moments of relief.
After a trip to the doctor on Friday to get checked on and have a few IV bags, I finally got rid of the stones on Saturday.
There it is. Yup, that little thing, caused me A LOT of pain. Sucks.
Oh well, I am feeling better now.
