I was hospitalized today after 48 hours of excruciating pain. I was diagnosed with Kidney Stones in my right Kidney. I have been vomiting profuciously, had extreme lower back pain that made it so I couldn't even sleep, I couldn't keep down liquids, I had trouble urinating..... not a fun time. And now I have to pass this crystallized structure through my bladder over the course of the next couple days which is going to be VERY painful. AND I have a final exam on Saturday which I have been in FAR TOO MUCH PAIN to study for, vomiting every 2 seconds. I just want it to be over..... and I have finals on Tuesday and Wednesday too that I am not ready for either.... All because of this rough week of kidney stones.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. That sounds like a horrible position to be in and I hope you feel very really soon. I've never been in this situation before, so I might not be much help, but maybe if you don't feel well on the day of finals you could ask them to take them another day, because that seems unfair that you'd have to take them while going through pain, which can only end up bad. Again, I'm really sorry and I hope you feel better real soon.
Obviously he cares for me a lot and wants the best for me. But I don't want my illness to distract him from his goals either. Like he is an amateur comedian, and last night was a comedy night, and I couldn't go because I was throwing up, but I urged him to go to get more practice, and as sad as he was to leave his sick girlfriend alone at home, it was what I wanted him to do, because he hadn't performed in a while and he was REALLY looking forward to that night. We look out for each other's needs. I can't expect him to be at my side 24/7 when I am sick when he has exams to write and studying to do and a life to live as well.
