Last sunday I was admitted into hospital for 4 days.
I got renal colic, caused by a kidney stone, which is said to be more painful than childbirth…. and I can believe it. Especially when you’re lying in a hospital bed in the early hours of the morning begging for something to take away the pain, and not even strong painkillers, including 2 shots of morphine can kill it. It also makes you feel incredibly lonely- a side effect I still haven’t shook off yet.
I passed the kidney stone though, and the pain mostly diminished, and I was discharged on wednesday. I am still on antibiotics and pain killers for bruised kidneys and for my stomach and back which were constantly in spasm. In 8 weeks I will go back to the hospital for an x-ray and to discuss what caused it. Until then my parents are force feeding me as my water as I can possibly drink, in an attempt to ‘flush myself out’.
I am currently round my parents recovering, but I go home tuesday. The internet has finally been installed at the new house, so I can update about house-activities when I return.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN A KIDNEY STONE AND CHILD BIRTH, BY RACHEL SLATER.
1.) Both painful.
2.) Both end up with something coming out of your bottom half at the end of it.
I, however, would personally rather end up with the finishing product of a stone, than a baby. What have you called him, btw? Stoney? Rocky?
I am also here to bring the news that my blog has now begun to morph into a Japan adventure. So I think its about time you paid me a visit.
