So I just got a text from my BF that said he called an ambulance and is in the hospital. I guess he has another kidney stone (his last one was so bad he needed surgery) and I feel so awful. I got up this morning at 5am, and he seemed fine. He was eating breakfast when I left (and of course the snow is horrible) and now I'm stuck at work. I guess somewhere from when I left and got to work he was having really bad pains. Now I'm all worried and just want to get to the ER to be with him

Sorry I know it's kind of a rant but I need to do something so I don't just sit and worry

Sorry to hear that! I'm sure he'll be okay - kidney stones are terribly uncomfortable, but usually don't cause any permanent issues.
Try to take your mind off of things, if work isn't keeping you busy enough to do so - I usually will plan a fake vacation if I need to distract myself. Type in "Best vacation ever" and one random word (like "orange" or "cloud" or something) and take the first place that comes up in the search as your imaginary destination. Then go to tripadvisor.com and plan a whole vacation - pick the best hotel in that area, look at flights, price out rental cars on kayak.com, look for activities you'd want to do. I don't know why, but this little exercise can easily distract me for 2 hours.

Glad he's doing ok. I know how helpless you must have been feeling.
To OP, your boyfriend's in good hands and I hope for the best for him. I had a few friends with kidney stones and they're pretty horrid sounding, so I figure he did the right thing by going to the doctor. Good luck to him!

lemon juice? every time i've gone to the hospital/doctor for my kidney stones, they tell me to just drink water and that's it. what is the reasoning behind lemon juice? i'm very curious!
Well my bf is back home and sleeping. He's in a bit of pain but he got some medicine to help and that makes him tired so I'm hoping he'll be ok while I'm here at work (although I did ask for his firend to check in on his lunch break). About the lemon juice.. I don't know why it's good for him- but his doctor always says for him to drink a glass of it when he gets kidney stones.. I think it has something to do with the acid but again, I'm not really sure. Just in case I keep it in the house
@ Calindi: I did end up planning a wonderful cruise to the Caribbean and then a short stop at Disney for a week *sigh* if only.. lol
