My Body is Assaulting Itself in General Mental Anesthesia

I’m surprised that hospitals don’t charge me rent!
Are you ready for this?
So as you may have read in my previous entry; I was just in the hospital 2 days ago re: colitis. Well, I just got home from the hospital once again!
Yesterday, my back was really, really killing me because of all the waiting around the previous day in the ER sitting in an uncomfortable chair for nearly 10 hours.
But never has this happened… My lower back spasming at the same time as my mid/upper back goes into spasm. Add that to the excruciating ulcerative colitis pains I was in and I started having panic or anxiety attacks, I think. It was just severe chest pains over my sternum and my heart.
I took my Tramadol and Flexeril, but neither worked. I had trouble breathing, but I suffered through it, all day, all night… Then this morning it was just as bad except now I was having a whole new pain (on my left side (back area) stretching all across my lower back, to my buttock to my lung.
Every breath I took was a moan in pain. Again, I tried to tough it out, but after 2 hours… I had to be taken back to the hospital, it was just way too much!
On the way to the ER (Mom was driving) I had to open the car door as she drove because I was so nauseous; dry heaving in traffic half out the door for a 1/2 mile!
We get to the ER around 11am and had to wait 4 hours before I was seen, moaning nonstop. I was so uncomfortable, I couldn’t sit or stand; I was literally writhing in agony, then it was another hour before I received any meds. Morphine, but it only took away about 25% of the pain, so that was followed up with a Toradol injection (which helped tremendously). The next few hours I was drifting in and out of consciousness.
Trust me when I say: It was 10,000x worse than I’m describing!!!
Had some tests done and a cat scan....
I have a 3mm kidney stone.
It’s 11:15pm, I just got home from the hospital and as much as I despise medicating… I’m taking everything!!!! Norco, Flowmax, Zofran, 600mg Motrin, Chanca Piedra, Pumpkin Seed extract… and TONS AND TONS OF WATER!!!
Also, because of the severity of the ulcerative colitis and extensive bleeding… I’ve lost 22lbs in the last 10 days.
Lord help me.... :’(
