Rough ride and night last night. - the Ferret - 01-25-2017
Yesterday was just another normal day. By afternoon I had my chores done, it wasn't raining and temps were tolerable so I dressed up and went for a ride on the ST.
I had been gone about 20 mins and decided to stop into my local dealer to see if there was anything new, and to chat. I walked in, took off my helmet and coat and started talking about Roczens (MX star) bad crash when all of a sudden my kidney, left side, started hurting and I became nauseous. I started to sweat bad and felt ill. Went back to the bathroom because I thought I was going to throw up but didn't. Told the guys I didn't feel well and started for home, a trip of about 17 miles the way I was going.
Within 5 miles the pain in my back was getting excruciating, causing me to involuntarily groan in my helmet and the nausea was overwhelming. I thought I was going to pass out. Really I should not have been riding at this point. I kept telling myself a few more miles to go. I started getting pain in my abdomen as well because my bladder was full. Between the pain and the nausea I was having trouble concentrating, but I finally made it home. Dumb decision to ride in that condition. Dumb! Should have told the guys in the shop to call my wife or give me a ride to the hospital or call 911.
I called my wife and told her I had an emergency to come home from work. Then I began vomiting. I had to urinate so bad but couldn't. Soon my son showed up and said he was taking me to the emergency room. My wife headed directly there. Once admitted, I was diagnosed with a kidney stone. A morphine drip did nothing to ease the pain, then Dilaudid was administered and still no relief. Then anther opioide I can't remember the name of and finally the pain subsided.Such pain I have never felt, and I'm sure the loud groaning was bothering other paitients but I couldn't help it. For a while I was biting on my wallet like the guys who bit on a stick in the westerns when having a bullet dug out of their chest lol. I had a Cat scan which confirmed the stone (plus some more in the kidney I guess which could come out or stay there forever I guess). Some drugs were given for the nausea because I kept vomiting, and a drug to help with the flow of a blocked urethra. Also something to relive the dehydration I was now experiencing. A catheter was inserted and relieved some of the bladder pressure but not much. Finally at about 11 pm, some 8 hours after this episode began, I was able to urinate and then felt instantly better. No bladder pain, no kidney pain, I felt fine. By 11:15 I was dismissed and came home to a good nights rest. Other than sleeping about 12 hours today, has been normal, and I even got in a great ride.
Lesson of the story, if you feel pain, nausea and faint and are sweating badly, DO NOT climb on a motorcycle.

Glad you're okay! Did they deduce any reason for it? Diet?

Thanks guys. Diet is certainly part of it, but heredity is another part. My dad had kidney stones, my son has had 2 bouts of kidney stones. Thought i was going to skate by but apparently not.
I know ther are now 3 things I have gone thru I would not wish on my worst enemy.. a case of gout, your back going out, and kidney stones. Hard to believe a body can go thru so much pain with any of those things.
RE: Rough ride and night last night. - Lord Popgun - 01-25-2017
Well thankfully everything came out OK. What? Too soon?
RE: Rough ride and night last night. - ClassicVW_imp - 01-25-2017
Keep drinking water. Constantly. Flush them out.

Wow, Mickey. Sorry for the rough day. I have heard that the pain with kidney is absolutely otherworldly. Glad you're feeling better!
