My Upsetting Day.......

Hello dear world......

Early this morning my mother had reported to my father and I that there was blood in her urine so we rushed her to the emergency room where we had to wait with her until a doctor could see her. She was put into a room where finally she was seen by a doctor.

Let me start at the beginning......Before 6:00 this morning we were both alerted by my mother that she was bleeding heavily when she went to the bathroom which alarmed us both and had us jumping and running to the E.R.

We got to the hospital which of course I was shaken and quite scared to say the least. At the hospital she started having intense pain and so I was shaken and nervous because we didn't know what was causing the bleeding or the pain.

Once she got into a room I helped her put on a hospital gown while we waited for the nurse. A little while later the nurse arrived with pain medication which relieved my mother of the pain she was in. Later on the doctor arrived and examined her.

A few hours later she was wheeled out of the room for a CAT scan. She was brought back into the room where we both slept for a little while. My father had to go to work so I stayed with her during all of this. Later on the doctor arrived with great news. She has a rather tiny kidney stone which the doctor reported she didn't need surgery. She will be able to pass it on her own.She was also given a little more pain medicine before leaving the hospital.  She was then able to leave the ER and come home. My father went and picked up some other medicine that she is taking. I am helping by asking her if she needs anything and checking to see if she is in any pain. She says she is doing fine and she is resting on and off.

I was quite a bit shaken but my nerves had calmed down and I'm trying to relax because it seems that she is doing fine. The doctor said that the kidney stone is the size of a small grain of sand it was just blocked which caused the pain and the bleeding. I had no idea a kidney stone could do any of all that it caused.

I am really happy that she's okay now after today's scary events. This was quite a day for me. Don't worry dear world I and my mother for the time being are fine. She is resting now and she isn't in pain. I am calming down and I'm sure a little rest will do me well. I was just shaken by the morning.

Thank you all for your thoughts and concerns. I didn't mean to alarm anyone or cause worry I was just a little scared by all that went on. Going to the ER can be scary in itself. She will have to see a specialist and I'm sure she will be fine.

Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that I am fine and I will try to get some rest when I go to bed tonight. All in all this was quite a day.

Good night dear world........I hope you all sleep well.
