If you've got a weak stomach, or don't like reading about medical details, you might want to skip over this post, k?

It's not anything TOO aweful, just frustrated descriptions and a lot of pain.

*shrugs*

On with the entry...

Ok, this sucks. The current stone seems to not want to pass, and it keeps lodging itself at the spot where my urinary tract meets my bladder, blocking the flow. If I clench my muscles just right, and if I'm very careful about how I do it, I can get a bit of liquid out... but nowhere near enough, and I end up feeling like I still have to pee without any viable means of DOING so. Frustrating.

THe last time I had a stone too big to pass was that horrible time when they stuck a tube into me, among other things. I don't particularly want that to happen again, so I'm drinking as much water as I can force into my body and hoping it'll just go out on its own.

I would really rather NOT go through that set of procedures again, particularly when a) pain medication is NOT covered by OHP, b) some medical services and procedures are also not covered, c) I won't be dealing with a urologist I know, and d) I KNOW how much the procedures suck, how much they hurt, and how miserable they make me.

*sighs, stretching*

Tempted to go curl up and just try to find a comfortable position until I can try to pee again.

This really hurts.
