On the way home, from that baptism I got an old familiar swelling pain type discomfort in my back, right side, low, and a couple of other places. It has been over 30 years, but this sensation is unforgettable. I drove as fast as I could, but the pain was very distracting. I had a special interview in Veracruz at 9 p.m. We got to the chapel. The pain miraculously went away and I was able to complete an abnormally long interview with a 39 year old man who was baptized the next day. A blessing. Immediately after the interview, the pain came back with a vengeance. It seemed to unleash all the stored up pain which had dissipated during the interview. It was 9:45 and we had to take the missionaries home. They got out and I told Mom that I had a kidney stone and asked her to get Dr. Brunt on the phone. He told me about a new drug, Flomax, which reduces the urethral spasm and minimizes the discomfort while the stone tries to pass. I have never passed a kidney stone but have had three surgeries, all right before and right after Becca was born (30 or so years). So, we drove to a big supermarket. No prescription required. I LOVE Mexico! They were out of the drug, but would receive a shipment on Tuesday. Not soon enough. This was Friday. But, miraculously, and I really mean that, the pain stopped. It just quit. We went to a 24 hour pharmacy. It was now 10:40. They had the Mexican version of the drug. I was very happy! We had to attend to some ailing missionaries and got home a little after midnight. We got home and I . . . I will spare you the details. But, for the first time in my life I passed a kidney stone. What a huge blessing! No surgery in Mexico is a very good thing. Who has time and patience for that, anyhow? Drink more water.
