Passing a Kidney Stone!
Did I talk about hot weather last week? Well, that was before the week was out. We’ve just had a weekend of cold, rainy weather. The rains we were looking for in May and June finally arrived now, in mid-August. I heard that farmers who had thought they would have to apply for insurance coverage on their crop failures now think they may get to harvest a bumper crop if only the frosts hold off for a late fall this year.
The weather is all mixed up this year at your place too, isn’t it?
Well I had something totally different happen to me on Saturday. I hope it’s okay to share this in mixed company.
I woke up with a severe pain in my bladder and was shortly convinced that it was a kidney stone. It was near the exit, so I hoped to pass it quickly. I took an aloe vera capsule and sat down gingerly at the computer to research and see what natural methods I could use to hurry it along. Mostly I read that drinking lots of water helps, and one site urged the drinking of 6 ounces of straight lemon juice followed by intervals of lemon and water.
I had already downed one tall glass of water, but I got another and squirted some RealLemon juice into it. I also prayed earnestly for deliverance.
The church had issued an invitation to the adults (read seniors) of the church to come together for lunch to meet a prospective new Associate pastor and his wife. I began to think i would just not show up. However, drinking all that water had me going to the bathroom several times, and just before 10 a.m. sudden relief. It was gone! It couldn’t have been more than the size of a poppy seed but what discomfort it had caused.
Whew! Well, I felt so much better that I decided to go to the lunch after all, and then shopping for more grout for my basement projects. Which I did. Then I did some major cleaning in the basement and sorted the tools neatly into my Lady’s tool cabinet.
I still feel great. Though I seem to have lost a lot of tension and find myself sitting around more relaxed than usual.
