This was constant sharp pain like I'm being stabbed. I waited in agony for 11 hours in the waiting room and a series of X-rays plus an ultrasound showed nothing, a cat scan showed that it was a medium size kidney stone that was obstructing flow. I still haven't passed it but I'm on 4 different meds and I'm hoping to pass it soon, it was sort of a relief knowing the blood and urine test would come back clean. I do admit the last time I was there was when I was not doing well and not the security guard who said the awful statement but another one who treated me less than saw me and gave me a strange look and I can't describe how I felt. I know I shouldn't care but it upset me. I wanted to scream that I was in agony but I was sober but of course I didn't. I'm not in pain right now, just super tired and I'm going to classes tomorrow. I hope that I can pass it soon without too much more pain. Thank you all.
