Rough start to our Friday

Justin got a kidney stone this morning, his first and hopefully last. I rushed him to Jordan Valley's ER. I have never seen him is so much pain....ever! He didn't even seem to care when the nurse gave him the IV....he absolutely hates needles! He was able to pass it in less than 2 hours (I'm sure it felt like an eternity). By the time they did a CT scan to verify it was a stone, it was already in the bladder, yay! I have to give props to the nurse, Rachel, at the Jordan Valley Hosp. ER....she was magnificent! Should be good as new by Saturday!

I found these pictures online. I was curious what they looked like.....

OUCH! I cannot imagine!

I am so sorry to hear that! I have a couple of friends in the neighborhood whose husbands have had them and from what I'm told no one should ever have to go through that! Get better soon!

Everyone says it's worse than labor. Glad he passed it and hope he's on the road to recovery now.
