F*** yeah KIDNEY STONE!

terajk So on Thursday I ate this lettuce that had an expiration date, like, five days before. (I know, I know, but I'm cheap and I was hungry.) Then around 11:00 I got this weird pain under my ribs on my left side, and I spent the whole night throwing up. By Friday the vomiting stopped, but the weird pain never went away--it just got more and less. So on Monday we called my doctor, who did an X-ray and some other tests, found an opacity on the X-ray, and ordered a CT scan. ("You can't eat or drink for 6 hours before the CT scan." Ffffff.) The CT scan was at a hospital we'd never been to before. (A poor sense of direction runs in my family.)
We drove all the way out there, and when we got home someone from my doctor's office called and was like: "You have a huge kidney stone. It's not moving. Your doctor wants you in the hospital [which you just freakin' left] right now." And I was like: "Are you serious?" and also "Ffffffff."
So then we had to drive all the way back to the SAME HOSPITAL WE JUST LEFT, and got lost on the way, as we were supposed to go to a different building than the one the CT scan was in. XD
FUCK YEAH KIDNEY STONE!
When I got to the hospital it was like FUCK YEAH ROOM SERVICE and FUCK YEAH WATER, because, you know, hadn't had any for 6 hours. Then in the morning my urologist came and gave me three options: let that sucker pass (which was unlikely, as it is 10mm by 6mm, which is either medium-sized or GINORMOUS, depending on the person who told me. I suspect the former), shock it out with...electricity or blast that fucker with a laser. And I was all, FUCK YEAH LASER. Then she told me I couldn't eat or drink anything until after the surgery.
So I go down for the LASER, but when I wake up everyone's like, "Yeah, so that bastard's so huge we could barely get the stent up you--seriously, we almost had to go through your back (WHUT?)--so you'll have to come back for another surgery later. But we totally moved the kidney stone out of the way of your urethra, so. How' bout we see you Tuesday?" And I was like: Tuesday?! Fffffff.
I'm not in much pain at all, to be honest. (I've had period cramps that were much worse, especially when I was younger and used to throw up.) But when I'm sick I really like watching horror movies--it's, like, a comfort thing, strangely--but my mom is also home and her tolerance for gore and general badness isn't as high as mine. So we're watching the new The Thing, and I'm like, "I suspect that one dude knows something and I know for sure he's a jerkass, and it would be kind of interesting if HE was the Thing this entire time but I doubt it and, eh. It's like they made the same movie over again exactly, and it's not bad enough to be entertaining. Nor does it have the awesomeness that is Kurt Russel. MEH."
For my "mirrors and doubles" square for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
kink_bingo (Tamaki/Kid FTW?) Tamaki is like, "I'm taking all the hosts to Death City with me!" and I'm like, "No, dude. You can only take one. No, the Hitachiins don't count as a set, and you wouldn't want to bring them both anyhow, as they would distract Kid from YOU. (If you must bring one, I suggest Kaoru. But to be honest I would really rather you bring Renge, Haruhi or maybe Kyoya." Then Tamaki was like: "Why is RENGE first!?" (It's...really close between her and Haruhi, as Haruhi's practicalness and Renge's fantasy-filter are equally fun to apply to Death City's weirdness. Actually, maybe I'll let Tamaki bring two people if it's THOSE two people.)
ETA: Renge's genre savvy suggests they're in this game series (or, more likely, one based on/inspired by/parodying it), and now she has to come. Crap. (I've never written Renge before, and am not very familiar with her favorite type[s] of video game.)
No, I can't believe I'm writing this nonsense, either.
