This morning we got up to go to a few garage sales in St George. Joey was not feeling great but insisted on going. He was driving and the pain on his right side kept getting worse. I have never seen him in so much pain in our 20 years of marriage. After a few minutes we convinced him to go home. When we got home, he threw up a few times due to pain. I kept begging him to let me take him to the emergency room as I feared it was his appendix. After about 30 minutes of being home, he agreed to go to the hospital. The pain was so bad and Joey was as white as a ghost. Thankfully when we got there the emergency room was not busy and within 10 minutes they had a room for him. They took some blood and gave him some pain medicine. The first type did not touch the pain. I felt so bad. She gave him a different kind that kicked in after 10 minutes. Joey was able to rest for a few minutes before they took him to get a CT Scan. They did not need to do the dye because they were able to see the issue. Joey had a kidney stone. It is 2 mm. They sent him home in hopes that he will pass it on his own. I really hope that can happen quickly so he can feel better quickly. It is so difficult to watch your best friend hurt so much and not be able to fix it.
