So c'mon, I dare you to ask me how my first day being 20 went?
Only I could have a story like this one to tell...
So I go to school... I'm in greek myth... what I think is my back starts to hurt. I get on the bus after class... my whole lower stomach hurts also, I think that I might be sick. I get home, take of my jacket, lie on my bed and writhe in pain. I get up to the living room... tell my granny and aunt that I think I might actually be dying. They laugh, I laugh and I continue to not be able to find one comfortable position. Pain gets worse... I'm grabbing on to the couch cushions as if that will help me. I'm like moving frantically under the pain. My granny and aunt ask what's wrong. I can barely talk anymore or breathe. I wonder if I am actually dying. The pain comes worse still and they ask if they should call an ambulance. I try to say no and almost cry out with pain. Tears start streaming down my face and I'm crying. Emotional pain ok.. i cry. Movies... ya i'm a big softy. Physcial pain... no way. but there I am crying and not knowing what to do. We decide on a taxi, I make it back to my room, try to get dressed and almost just lie on the floor. I'm still crying. Get downstairs.. get in taxi. Try not to think, try not to cry or to scream. Get to the emergency... pain just goes away. Feel like a big moron. Maybe i exaggerated what was just a cramp... End up staying in emergency for 7 hours... get blood pressure taken, pee in a cup, have a blood test and then x rays. No my appendix didn't burst. I have a kidney stone. THe pain from kidney stones is known to bring people to their knees. I feel better... like I didn't over react at least. WAIT 7 hours... get a strainer and get sent home. Have to pee in strainer and once stone comes out (which doctor informed me hurts as much for girls and for guys) I have to bring to my family doctor and then she'll send it to the lab. Friday I have an ultra sound. Wednesday I have a midterm and then i have two big papers i have to write. Today i was supposed to work on all of that. So not going to class tomorrow. If this is an indication of my 20 th year... look out world cuz here I come...
