... or anyone else who has an opinion, really...
If I just had a transient episode of gross red hematuria + flank pain - which resolved on its own and which I suspect was probably a kidney stone since 1) it was bright red blood which makes kidney injury less likely 2) I'm stupid and never drink water - is it ok to wait until next week before getting a dipstick/creatinine/BMP?

My grossly under qualified opinion based in nothing says yes it's ok to wait unless the pain or hematuria come back, you have other urinary symptoms, or you are feeling crumby otherwise.
So sorry, Christina!

Probably okay to wait, although if you can get your hands on a sterile cup and a dipstick, it really is the easiest test in the world! Hope to see you tonight!
