Fucking kidneys
Sep. 16th, 2007 08:56 pmI clearly have been failing to ingest enough water of late. (probably defined as weeks, possibly months)
My right kidney has felt the need to notify me of this via the weird way I get kidney stone pain (it is not immediately at level 8 or 9 pain; I get warnings, first. Unfortunately, at low enough level, I can't distinguish the warnings from muscle pain, cramps, or constipation. Which is unfortunate, because I've had warnings for a few days now, if I'd known what they were).
Now I hope I can manage to ingest enough water tonight to force it through and allow me to sleep (if I don't, stopping ingesting stupid amounts of water _WILL_ cause it to get to level 8 or 9 pain. And I take enough anti-inflams that I'm reluctant to take more to _deal_ with that level of pain).
This is going to be a thrilling night, I just _know_ it.
And it was such a nice day, too!
Stupid kidneys. Fucking ow. Hopefully it remains at warning level intensity...
Also, ow. (also? I think it's both sides. That's just _RUDE_)
(at least I know what it _is_, and I can just drink stupid amounts of water and hopefully avoid the worst of it)
*wrly amused* Why I could not wait until tomorrow to complain about this, I do not know. Perhaps because there is no one here for me to whimper at, and the cat is uninpressed (and perplexed). But! Back to the computer being off, after I post this.
