The world’s fastest kidney stone. Sitting outside with Jeff and Carol, it was time to get up for dinner. I just had time to say “Ouch. That’s quite a gas bubble” as I stood up, before the waves of searing pain hit my right kidney. Five minutes later, to my surprise and great delight, the pain shifted to a burning in my bladder. The stone had already moved that far. That has to be some kind of record! It was at least a personal best. From the first moment I could drink, I pounded fluids nonstop to make sure everything kept moving. An hour later I was eating dinner. Some cranberry juice the next day helped soothe the last of the discomfort. If a person has to have a kidney stone, that is surely the way to do it.
