Since I had my surgery in August 2012 I have had a lot of kidney pain. I was hospitalized 3 times with this. Two of the times I had infection and one time severe kidney pain. The doctor said that I have a swollen kidney. I get that but when it gets so painful and I have no fever and it is night time (NO I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE ER) there is no doctor that will call in pain meds. I guess now I need to get a kidney doctor. My kidney is hurting right now but I would rather hurt at home than sitting in an ER for hours and hours and hours. The last time it was 4 hours. It is always 3 to 4 hours every time.
Any way I just want to update everyone on what I am dealing with now. I am drinking so much water that I am keeping my night drainage bag attached. I seem to have a lot of mucus lately. I guess that even though I have a Urostomy that the piece of intestine that was use for my stoma is producing a lot of mucus. I am in sooooo much pain right now. Kidney pain can be intense. Most people don't have this problem after surgery. I guess that I am just one of the lucky ones. haha!!!! It is almost 2:00 in the morning so I need to go deal with this pain and see if I can possibly get some sleep. I am praying for all of you dealing with an Ostomy and those who are debating getting one. I AM AN OFFICIAL "BAG LADY"!!! haha!!! knee slap!!
