Kidney Stones!?!

Apparently when it rains it pours, at least for me right now. Last Friday when I went to the Dr. and was put on antibiotics for a UTI I thought this nightmare would be over. Sat. I went to a gathering at my in-laws house and that night I felt like something was moving into my chest. I started coughing and by the next morning my voice was so scratchy and deep I sounded like a man. Perfect! That night I had a full blown cold. On Tues. I talked to my Dr. and they informed me that I did not have a UTI, and needed to go see a Urologist and have them rule out bladder cancer. WHAT!?! This is crazy. I got into the Dr. on Wed. and the Urologist assured me that I have such low risk factors for bladder cancer that I shouldn't worry, but I could have kidney or bladder stones. I could handle that over bladder cancer. So that afternoon I had a CT of my pelvis, where they put dye into my blood stream through an IV. The tech explained that I would feel warmth moving through my body and I might feel that I was going to wet my pants, and that I would have a funny taste in my mouth. All which happened. (No, I didn't wet my pants, it just felt like it.) Anyways, after waiting for results the urologist called me Fri. afternoon to tell me I have 3 kidney stones in my right kidney. What a sigh of relief that it's not bladder cancer. Monday I will go in and discuss what to do to rid my body of these stones. I also get to have a peek inside my bladder with a microscopic camera just to make sure everything is fine, should be fun! I will let everyone know the results when I get them because I'm sure your all dying to know.
