Don't you just hate it when your husband cheats on you for a year, says he wants a divorce, moves out into his own crappy apartment and then you keel over (not from emotion but from pain) because you have a kidney stone the size of a boulder making its home in your ureter. Fuck, yeah, that hurts. The only thing more painful than an unwanted divorce is an unwanted kidney stone. For those that are into competition, my stone is 7mm. My cute doctor said it was quite impressive. So impressive that the chances of passing it are equal to my husband and I reconciling. So...I am scheduled for surgery on May 14. I've never had any type of surgery before. Two childbirths and that's it, I've been low maintenance, my insurance company loves me. Well, after 8 hours in the ER and a surgery, they're going to know my name.
I'm not even nervous at all. If I had to go to surgery right now, I'd roll my way in the fetal position to get there. That's how much this hurts, even on pain medicine. If I lay down and curl into a ball and very carefully don't move for four hours, the pain does dull down. Hey kids, hey work, I'm going to be curled like a cute little hedgehog on the couch for the next five days. You're on your own, okay? And work, please keep sending me that paycheck even though I've only been making guest appearances lately.
I blame my kidney stone on my husband. It has to be his fault somehow.
It might be your husband's fault. Isn't it based on diet? Over the last year your diet has probably suffered because your husband was the cook of the family and he was on autopilot.
ReplyDeleteHa, you're right. He was the cook. So it really IS his fault. I wish I could pass it along to him but just like the divorce pain, he will never feel it.
DeleteAll the fucked up shit is our stupid cheating husbands fault. They get to put their stupid little problems/insecurities on us to legitimize having their affair right? Well he can have the responsibility for my stress related weight loss, anemia, depression & my kidney stone too. I too discovered mine after discovering his affair. I thought my abdominal pain was just a manifestation of my depression... nope it was kidney stone. Mine is only 4mm so no surgery for me. I am sorry you are in physical pain too. Sending you well wishes. My work too has been paying the price for my lack of attention. It all sucks but I know it can get better. Sending you strength sister.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you had a stone too! Has it passed yet?
DeleteAnd by the way, who would have dreamed six months ago that I would be trading cheating husband and kidney stone stories on the Internet? Life really is crazy.
My health plummeted about the time my divorce was happening too. They blamed everything on you and made it seem like we were at fault for their idiocy, so we can certainly blame this on them. I hope that he has to foot the bill in some way and that you start feeling better! Maybe he will get hit by a car and that will make up for your pain!
ReplyDeleteI fantasize about him being hit by a bus but a car would work too. :)
DeleteThe kidney stone is without a doubt your husband's fault. You probably got dehydrated from crying and not eating or drinking, therefore you got a stone, therefore it is his fault. If his cheating was "your fault" then this is definitely his. Enjoy the pain meds and feel better!
ReplyDeletePerfect logic to me. Yup, all his fault.
