we had an interesting turn early this morning. since we've been taking the longer and longer rides and the weather's getting warmer we've been trying to figure out what i guess one would call the 'proper hydration %' etc. last wed's ride was cooler than some, and i noticed i didn't drink as much as i had the weekend previous. dehydration for those with a history of kidney stones isn't a good thing.
at 4:00 am this morning i woke matt. i had taken 4 ibu but was still pretty much writhing in pain. he got me a dilauded we had left from the mastectomy and it didn't seem to do anything. after 10 minutes (if that) we got dressed and went to the E.R. they started me on a bag of saline - the nurse said my skin looked a little dry. we got some more dilauded, some zoloft (i think that was it) for nausea, and something that starts with a 'T' which is basically an ibu medicine. a couple x-rays and a CAT scan later and it was confirmed. a 2-3mm stone wasn't far from my bladder. so i've ended up with an unexpected day of rest.
we're still planning on doing the flying wheels training ride tomorrow, but we may end up bailing at 30 miles instead of doing the full 65 we signed up for.
