7-8/10 stabbing kidney pain

I have a stone on the left still, and it's reeeally high up, which is why I said kidney pain, even though I'm sure it's the ureter or renal pelvis. Thankfully the pain is intermittent, but the real pain is that I have about 3 weeks left until finals, and I really can't miss any of this. This is the worst stone pain I've had since I was in South Carolina. Last time I went in for surgery, it had nothing to do with stone pain. I had that first visit with my Stanford doc, and he got all giddy when he saw that honkin' stone up there. I didn't even know I had it, but I think he was worried about a blockage. That was over a year ago. I think. Cursed stent. :/

So I have some old-ass Flomax and lots of crappy pain meds. I would kill for some pot right now. Seriously, thanks to the government, I can't take an instant pain reliever that will be out of my system in like 4 hours (effect-wise), but I can take Vicodin or Percocet, which will leave me a puking mess for like 8 hours. Really? People are so ignorant.

Anyway, this will be my first trip to the ER or OR since Dave left the Marines. Retirees and their families only pay $30 for an ER visit, and $25 for ambulatory surgery. How cool is that?

Well the zofran should have kicked in by now. The pain made me puke but I think I'm ready for some wonderful pain meds. -_-
