ah well this has been a rough week. I had to spend all day Wendesday in the local Hospital. I was passing a kidney stone. Folks let me tell you, IT HURT LIKE HELL. To complicate matters, the pain drove my blood pressure sky high. The culprit in all this, Soda. Yes dear readers, no more Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, or other drinks of this nature. Luckily, I like drinking water. So Adjustments have been made to my diet. As for the rest of the story, the Doctors loaded me up with pain meds, after I passed the stone. Basically I was out of pain once that happened and then the blood pressure dropped. I couldn't get the doctors to understand that. You should know they decided to give me pain meds 3 hours after I got there and 1 hour after I passed the stone. I told them the stone passed and still they insisted on shooting me up with Morphine. I was outta pain and they still drugged me. Basically a nurse walked in and grabbed the IV and injected it with out saying anything to me. I asked what she gave me and was ignored. A different nurse finally told me what it was. Let this be a lesson dear readers, Knw what they are giving you.
