FINALLY home! (update)

Five full days in the hospital (six if you count the half day). UGH!

Do have a kidney stone, but what kept me there was a nasty bladder/kidney infection. The stone's not moving so for now there is nothing to do. I have to take 10 days of antibiotics and I have pain meds just in case.

The strange thing is I had no idea how sick I was. I didn't run a fever or even really feel that bad other than the pain in my kidney (which I thought was just back pain). And I would not have even bothered to call the midwife (my husband did that) and if she hadn't said I needed to see the doc I wouldn't have gone...

Another day though and I might have been considering it... and been much sicker. So I'm thankful my husband gets worried so easily... at least this time! :P

I actually feel more sick today than the day I went in, at least in some ways. I am SO exhausted! I feel completely wiped out! Been home since about 1 pm and I've done little more than lay around and read and I am just so tired!

Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more like myself and actually get some things done around the house (it needs cleaning in a BAD WAY!).

I am very glad that none of the nurses or docs gave me any grief over seeing a midwife. Last pregnancy when I got dehydrated and went in the one ER doc acted like I was sick because I was not seeing an OB! Yeah, because OBs are miracle workers and keep you from getting sick! :P I had a few nurses ask questions but never in a way that told me that they thought I was a complete idiot! LOL I had one really great nurse (they were all good) she was so happy and had such a sweet disposition! She was great! Too bad I slept most of the time she was there (during the night) I would have liked to chat with her more! :) Her cheerfulness was infectious!

What I would not have given for a laptop though! The insane boredom of the hospital!! It was almost unbearable!

Well I am home now and so glad to be! I hope to not ever repeat that experience!
