Hello from Sparks, NV.
Back on Tuesday, I had to go to the emergency room. I was in very bad pain. It hurt to walk from my truck to the truck stop. Thankfully, a fire dept that has an ambulance is right next door to this truck stop. The pain went from my lower back on my right up into the right shoulder and neck. I could not even take a deep breath. After the x rays, it turned out I have a bunch of small kidney stones.
Since Tuesday, I have had trouble sleeping. Until last night, I could only lay on my left side. But every couple hours, I'd wake up and have to move a bit because my hip would be sore. Last night, I was able to lay on my back. But if I tried to lay on my left, my right kidney would be sore.
I have been drinking a lot of water. Today is day three. No problems in going potty. I think the stones were small enough to pass through with no pain. My right side is not quite as sore as it was. I think it was just inflamed today.
Hoping to sleep well tonight, then back to driving tomorrow.
Folks. Always drink plenty of water. Even if you do not feel thirsty. I do not wish kidney stones on anybody.
