Another roller coaster evening …

Posted on | November 15, 2008 |

Last night after work I stopped off and bought Bunny a new bed, some ’safety’ pads, and some plastic sheeting.  I wrapped the new bed in plastic sheeting covered it with a nice soft blanket and plopped Bunny down on it.  She seemed very happy and comfortable on it.  

Bunny surprised us a little later by getting up on her own, making her way over to her food, and standing there while eating. She did it so non de-script that we hardly even noticed she did it too! That was a very high moment for the evening.  The remainder of he evening was a little different however.  

I ended up having some serious pain and apparently at one point passed out from it.  While that happened Bunny got herself into the trash and ate the remnants of a calzone.  When I woke up a short while later it was to Bunny trying to get up and drink some water, so I helped her get there and then we headed outside for her business.  At this point I didn’t know she had raided the trash and thought all was well.  We retired back to the bedroom and I spent the next hour or so slamming bottles of water trying to pass these damn stones.  No luck there.  So after a while I went back to bed. I was woken up a short while later by Bunny trying to get up again, so once more I helped her get towards the door, and we almost made it before she had an accident.  I managed to get her outside and she finished but then after getting her back inside and cleaned up I had to tend to the mess. After that I went back to bed only to be woken up a short while later by Bunny puking all over her bedding.  This was when I noticed what she was puking and that she had got into the trash.  The poor girl was just a mess and so was everything around her.  So once more I got up got her cleaned up and tended to the mess.  Not ten minutes after getting back to bed she started puking again.  So another round of cleaning and tending ensued and again I went back to bed.  Not long after that I had some of the worst pain I have ever had and thought for sure I would pass the stones.  But nope, no luck. Three bottles of water later I was bloated, exhausted, and frustrated.  It took a while for me to get back to sleep after that and luckily that was all the evening had for me.  

This morning I woke up around nine and started calling urology clinics and doctors, but unfortunately they were all closed.  I was really hoping to pass these stones last night but I now realize that it may not happen on its own and I may have to go back to the ER.  I rested until about 11am and then had to go out and get my prescriptions for the oral surgery I am having the day after I return from this next show.  Luckily there is some pain medication in those and I can take that now but that’s not going to help me much.  I really need to pass these things before I am scheduled to leave again.  The idea of having to deal with another out of town ER during the next show is frightening.  

Bryan and I did manage to get several rugs for the house today.  These should help Bunny girl get around easier than she was on the concrete floors.  Not exactly what I had planned for this weekend, or my paycheck. but I am still rolling with what has been a wild week so far.  

Tonight I am feeling fairly bad.  I still have pain and its coming in waves now so I’m hoping this will be the night.  Bryan is keeping an eye on me and if I get much worse he has promised to take me to Presby.  But like I said, I am going to keep being hopeful and keep slamming bottle after bottle of water to try and kick these stones to the curb.
