Wednesday Russ was interviewing Elder Budge, a brand new missionary from Utah, and suddenly he felt a familiar pain, just like two years ago when he had his first experience with this. He tried to continue with the interview, but the pain was just too much. He had the Zone Leaders, Elder Flores and Elder Winters give him a blessing, and off we went to the hospital.
Thursday Dr. Torres did the surgery and retrieved the stone that was causing so much pain and trouble:
It's very tiny compared to the penny - but I guess it's pretty big for a kidney stone. Not fun.
Russ came home from the hospital on Friday and is doing MUCH better now. Dr. Torres wants to analyze the stone and find out what causes Russ' body to form them. Hopefully he can avoid having another one.

I'm sure that must have been very
PAINFUL.
Hope Russ is feeling better now. Looks like a pretty large stone.
Where did you get that penny - you haven't been sneaking over the border have you??
Hope that is the last of the kidney stones! What a painful experience that must have been... hope you're feeling better Russ.
