Evo TerraFinally got a callback from the triage nurse, because the pain has been teh sux (to use the parlance from 15 years ago) post-procedure from last Friday.
That’s the end of the good news.
The rest of the news is that yes, what I am feeling is unfortunately “normal”. Yes, even the nausea and occasional vomiting. It’s pain-induced, and refilling Tramadol is a no-no. Which is fine. I hate that particular opiate.
I did get clarification on the use of ibuprofen, my body’s favorite painkiller. I can do 800 mg for 4 hours, then switch to paracetamol or the dreaded Tramadol, then back to the big dose of ibuprofen. I’m cautiously optimistic that OTC addition should help.
A heating pad was also recommended and currently in place.
This is my life for the next week and a half, I guess. #KidneyStonesSuck
