Last night I had an unexpected experience.
I woke up at 2:10, needing to go to the bathroom,
and when I laid back down I noticed my back was hurting,
and then my right side started hurting.
It started getting worse and then radiating into my back.
My first thought was, "Is it appendicitis?"
I got up to see if the pain would get some relief,
and that is when I noticed that it felt like a charlie horse in my back.
After starting to feel nauseous and having a hard time taking a full breath,
I woke up Jeff.
Tears soon followed, with "I don't know what to do!"
Kidney stones soon became a likely hood of what I was feeling.
Jeff thought we should go in,
so do we wake up the kids at 2:30 am and drag them with us,
or do we call somebody.
(This is the biggest downfall to being in Colorado, with no family around.)
Jeff called our friend Kevin, because he seemed like the most logical choice.
He works through the night many nights and
his wife was more then likely having to show up at work in the morning.
Marty answered Kevin's phone, but soon woke up Kevin and
I'm sure he hopped right out of bed and got ready to come over.
We headed to a hospital ER and we got right in.
From the get-go they thought it was a kidney stone also.
The CT scan soon showed we were all right.
We arrived back home around 5:30,
with kids still in bed and Kevin sleeping on the couch.
A HUGE thanks to Kevin for being such a friend,
to sacrifice his sleep to come to our house so our kids could sleep.
This morning, I woke up to a straightened living room and this sign:
