Friday night (er, Saturday morning 2:30 AM) I woke up with a searing pain in my left side and lower back. Having suffered through a kidney stone approximately 18 months ago, I knew what was ailing me. I rolled out of bed and into the bathroom and threw up about 6-7 times. I was driven to the ER. They gave me some anti-inflammatory stuff, some narcotics and a bed. By 5:45 AM I was feeling doped-up and fine and was discharged.
Saturday night (er, Sunday morning 2:30 AM - again) I woke up with a familiar searing pain in my left side and lower back. After attempting to throw up again, I was driven back to the ER. They gave me the same stuff - although a different narcotic - and by 5:15 AM I was back in bed. Ugh.
Sunday I felt okay and I went to work today. It's been about 24 hours since I've had a vicodin (although I'm about to have one right now before I go to bed). I haven't felt any pain for about 24 hours, so I'm hoping the stone is somewhere in my bladder, getting ready to pass. I'm just really tired from the whole ordeal.

Wow, you are becoming a professional stone passer. That suck man, I hope all is well.
Like I told you before, let me know if you need help with the move. I'd be more than happy to assist in any way I can.
