Morning scare, complete with ambulance and emergency room visit
Comments(23) 
This morning, my husband got up and complained that he was hurting in his lower abdomen, on the left side. The pain intensified and he ended up on his knees with his head on the couch. He was in so much pain. I was watching him, trying to figure out what to do. Asking him, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”–When all of a sudden…he said…I think I am going to pass out.
The next thing I knew he fell back…hit his head hard on the floor… He made some horrible sounds…and then silence. His eyes were wide open, he was not breathing, and his whole body was cold and clammy. I called 911.
He came to not long after that…but was very disoriented.
The EMT came in and took him to the hospital. I met him there, but by the time I did, he was feeling better. Thank God.
They did a CAT scan of the area and determined it was a Kidney stone. They could see it in his bladder. They could also see a couple more in his kidneys.
We were sent home with some prescriptions and a screener to see if he can catch it to have it analyzed by a lab.
Hoping that when that thing does come out, it doesn’t hurt him again!
It was draining. And afterwards I had a mini binge. Fear, anxiety, stress…my usual triggers… We were both so exhausted we took a nap…woke up feeling a little sick to my stomach.
Just grateful it is over…and he is ok.
He said when he was out, he said he went to a very peaceful place and there were colors that were more beautiful than he has ever seen. He is convinced he may have gone to heaven. He said he did not want to come back when he was there.
