Back in the ER Thursday Night

Tweet

I couldn't take the pain any more, and had to go to the ER. When I arrived I was only one there, but they told me they were booked I would be sitting a second or two. I got called in sat in a chair in a hallway, then they moved me to a bed in the hallway, then transferred to a room. Ran all kinds of test and my left kidney as the doctor says is stretched. He says there is a large stone there. They did not do a ct scan to see the size, if it is bigger than the last time. Gave me three iv's of medication, because the pain would not go away. The bad thing is. When I arrived I could no longer get a urine sample, I hadn't been able to go since the morning. When i was finally able to , it was all red, from the stone. Finally at 1:30 in the morning, it was time to leave, I called for my daughter, but they make you wait outside in the dark, you can't wait inside, and you have a long way to walk to the exit. I almost fell down, because I was filled with so much medicine very dizzy, but they didn't wheel me out to the bench outside to wait. They really need to allow people to wait inside, totally not safe. I finally got a hold of my urologist office, after waiting on the phone 1 1/2 hours. I get to meet an advice nurse on Thursday the 25th, the advice nurse will go out of the room tell the doctor what I had to say and then tell me what the doctor says. I can not meet directly with him.. They say he hasn't gotten back to me because he is entirely backed up.. Still no excuse, I am in pain, and been waiting since May.
