I spent Saturday night in the ER with severe pain in my left kidney area. They ran blood and urine tests and at this time do not think it is a kidney stone but a pulled muscle. I am not sure on the diagnosis since I had exercised on Saturday morning for an hour split between treadmill and elliptical machine. After breakfast I helped my wife move some books and junk for about an hour. On the way home my back started bothering me so I took 3 advil. We picked up some Boston Market for a late lunch and I was feeling much worse after that. I puked up dinner and had a hard pain in the kidney area from that point on. At 10:30 at night I could not take it anymore and went to the ER. They kept me there for observation until 2am with an IV and pain medicine and released me under the conclusion I hurt my lower back. I got 2 prescriptions, on for pain one to relax the muscles. When I take the medicine it puts me to sleep. The doctor told me to take it easy for a couple days So I will not be in tomorrow. I will see how I feel come Tuesday, but most likely will not be in that day either. I will need to follow up with a doctor in a 1 to 2 weeks if this does not get better.
obviously I did not exercise today. I also did not eat right. Breakfast was 2 turkey sausage, a banana and some sherbert, lunch was 2 pretzel rods, and dinner was Quorn chicken nuggets with honey and musturd and some sherbert. Total callories for the day were 928.
