OsuMj Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I thought I would share a story, its mildly entertaining to me...I was supposed to be in Myrtle beach this weekend, but Thursday, pain and fever struck. I ended up in the ER waiting room by 8:30PM, and finally taken to a room by 12:15PM. The entire time I was waiting, I was folded over in pain and had a fever of at least 100.9. They ran some tests, decided I had a 5mm kidney stone, a severe kidney infection caused by the kidney stone, and they were pretty confident I had a blood infection too because the kidney stone was blocking everything. Suck. So over the next 48 hours, I have pain, fever (up to 102), ridiculously low blood pressures (as low as 70/42), surgery, and so many bags of fluid pumped into me, I couldn't begin to guess a number.The "interesting" part. While I was under anesthesia, I had a dream I was riding my motorcycle. Then suddenly, I wake up in the OR. If that doesn't scare the shit outta ya, I don't know what does. Although, waking up from surgery thinking you crashed in a motorcycle accident is not favorable, it does bring you out quickly, so I think I'm thankful for it.Anyway, I'm home now, 18lbs heavier than when I left for the ER (damn fluids), my kidney hurts, and I have to wear boys shorts bc I don't fit into any of my own clothing. lol.So in general, sorry to the people who I told I would show up to the bike nights, then didn't... hope you can forgive me... if not, I don't like you anyway.

Mr Anderson Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Glad your okay. Don't worry about the bike night stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Another excuse to flake, it's always something....j/k Glad you're doing ok, that doesn't really sound like a way I'd like to spend a weekend. I dunno what kidney stones feel like, but if it's anything similar to having your appendix rupture, I feel for you.Get well soon, get back on your steel horse and come hang out!

luvkawzx6-R Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I feel your pain, I go through a bout with kidney stones every couple of years. They are no joke. Hopefully its only a one time thing for you. Hope you feel better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Glad you're back intact, Michele. Take it easy for a while, heh? We want you healthy again. Yes, we missed you.Kidney and blood infections are not a joke, so I'm really glad you had the smarts to go to the ER, and not just go home and try to sleep.

Mikejr879 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 In Germany it is very common to wear a so called "Nierengurt" in English "Kidney-belt". As some of you know the Kidney is located by your lower back just under the skin. And the purpose of the Nierengurt is to protect the kidney from sub cooling (causes kidney infection) and also support your guts from bouncing/ shifting around if you hit these nasty put holes in the road and vertical accelerations. What strikes me that there is not much discussion about these belt's. I found THIS article that describes it more in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
