The worst is over...
I passed the kidney stone, so worst of it is now behind me. I have it to bring to the urologist, though, so they can tell me if I can adjust my diet to keep it from happening again. (Apparently, too much calcium, etc. is sometimes to blame.)
The weirdest thing is that my whole body is going to have to get used to eating again. It's weird how everything just stopped. Like, I couldn't even digest Diet Sprite right after I got out of the hospital. It just came back up. Today my mom made me chicken noodle soup that's literally chicken, carrots, noodles and water boiled together, and it almost made me sick. I kind of figured that once the stone was gone, I'd be back to my old self. Who knew a full day of puking would have longer-lasting effects than my kidney stone itself?
I'm really sick of liquids. You can't even imagine how much I want something crunchy right now. The only thing is, I know it would be worse to eat it than to sit here and crave it. Well, I should be sleeping right now. Maybe tomorrow will bring crunchy things... :-)
