Here I was saturday cracking plastic with my EF brothers, having a ball
. The next day balled up in a fetal position in the emergency room. Pain so excruciating while driving to the hospital I hoped for a Police Officer to pull me over so I could render help. The Creators plan was that I make it...so I did. Pain was so great I started sweating and was seconds from passing out. After a CT Scan and a MRI, diagnoses-kidney stone.
I would'nt wish this on anyone. The most special part of it all was after the pain meds wore down and I woke up after literaly hearing myself snoring
....there was my wife and my 2 youngest babies.
Thank God I am home on 2 meds, forced to take a day off from work
but Dr knows best. I share this to say that life is so very short and when we put things off they can come back on us 3 fold.
The irony is that I had mini pain sessions throughout the week, but I put them off as failures of my self medications(spicy foods, iced coffee therepy) until people that love me told me "when there is pain, there is a problem...go see a Dr" For the first time I listened...heck I am 38 and still think I am a practicing medical specialist
. I laugh now but that pain was no joke
. Now I must drink tons of fluids and wait for a 3cm(I believe he said that) passess. Thank God for humbling me and forcing a qick surrender or it could have grown larger, more painful, and a possible surgical procedure. My family now has me on a strict "water diet"
but the room service has improved tremendously
. Just sharing with my EF family how my Sunday was spent.
Peace,
Coach Karim
