So July 5th I wake up with a kidney stone. The pain is crazy and gets worse. I take myself to the Emergency Room at like, 2 in the morning. They give me some pain meds, and I stay there until the kidney stone passes through the ureter (the most painful part.) I don’t go into work that day. My job doesn’t have sick days, just a certain number of attendance points you can use for whatever reason. They don’t accept doctor’s notes, so I’m getting a point, unless, I’m admitted, overnight. The kidney stone hasn’t passed, it’s somewhere in there, down in my junk. I deal with some pain, discomfort and some back pain. I have to walk all the time, and constantly drink water to try and get it to pass. I’m a little concerned, because the ‘vacation of a lifetime’ is coming up. I go to San Diego Comic Con with a group of 5 or so friends. Its an amazing trip. We swim in the ocean, enjoy the con, and the amazing San Diego weather. Because 2 other people from my job are going on vacation at the same time, my request to have this be an approved absence is denied. That’s another 2 attendance points. A couple weeks after I get back from the con, I get invited to a book club by someone I knew in college, let’s call her Kim. I’ve always toyed with the idea that she could be someone I could date. Through the book club we rekindle a friendship. At the time, I’m dating a different girl, let’s call her Erica. Erica is the first real relationship I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few dates, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to the 3rd date with anyone else. I am 29 years old.
REPORT ABUSEthanks for the replies, everybody!
okay… here’s a little bit more of the story…
I have dealt with ADD for all my life. I have the inattentive kind. I don’t have get the hyperactive symptoms, but I have trouble with focusing, remembering things and organizing my memories, and keeping track of tasks. I’m always getting sidetracked, and it takes me forever to do things. My room is a mess and my mind is a mess too… but… on the plus side, I think my disorganized mind is a factor in my having a strong imagination and creativity. I also think that not being neurotypical (fun word that I just learned on these forums) has given me a unique perspective and sensitivity to people who are different. (as an aside, I’m not sure how long I can type right now, because the discomfort in my wrists/forearms is coming back.)
So as of July 2012, I was working at a call center; a job I hated. I’m an introvert, and working somewhere that involves talking all day, working fast, constantly multitasking, and being micromanaged was hell. My hobby/avocation is art and design, and I spent all my July 4th holiday working on a drawing on my computer glued to the chair. I woke up with a kidney stone. To be continued…
as far as waiting, I have a few things I have to cooperate with, and I get to see the Psychiatrist in May.
