ER Visit

Apparently I'm not finished having complications from having a baby. I had a check up Monday for my blood pressure and liver enzymes and they came back normal! However, around 1:30 this morning, I woke up to severe back pain. Ben took me to the emergency room and I found out I have a kidney stone. The doctor said since I am nursing, I am becoming dehydrated and that caused the stone. I feel like I am in labor all over again! I've never had a kidney stone and never want one again! He said I should be able to pass it on my own. I have a pain medicine I can take if needed and I need to drink lots of water to help it pass faster. I have to throw away my milk if I take tha pain medicine. I don't like wasting it like that. I'm really hoping that it passes soon! This is not how I expected to spend my maternity leave!
