I feel like I've been hit by a truck today. I was up all night last night with kidney spasms. I think I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. I get these spasms usually every few months, and usually coincides with a kidney infection. I've been having them sporadically the last week or so, but nothing I couldn't deal with, until last night. I wanted to die. It felt like someone was trying to squeeze my kidney and yank it out of me. And the spasms hit out of the blue, no warning, and sometimes they aren't so bad, then other times I almost pass out from the pain. I laid in bed doubled over in pain most of the night. I was finally able to get up around 5 am and take some aspirin, and finally they subsided enough that I went into work. I ended up calling the doctor though because I was out of my antibiotic, so I left after about 2 hours to go to the doctor. Just got home. I still feel like crap. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better. I was doing so much better. I made it 3 weeks at work w/out missing any time, then glutened myself and missed 2 days last week, now this. Thank God for FMLA.
