Sep. 10th, 2013 07:24 pmSecond kidney stone in less than 12 months. Bleh. So, far, this is not a major life-disrupting issue for me, and I hope to keep it that way, but my mom just told me that my grandpa dealt with these throughout his adult life. BLEH TO THAT.
Think I need to drink a lot more water than I do. One of my siblings, who works out a -lot- less than I do, has also had a stone once, but only the once. I was really hoping I wouldn't be a recurrer, but I suspect I may let myself dehydrate a little a lot more often than sibling does.
Waiting to see if more metabolic workup is indicated, because the kind of stone I've had can be a product of oxalic acid in food, and if I have high oxalate levels, I'll need to cut that back. Really hope not, because a lot of my favorite foods have high oxalic acid levels, apparently! (But that could also be a contributing factor in me having recurring stones where sibling does not. Spinach, kale, soy, brown rice - all highish in oxalates, all faves of mine, all NOT in sibling's diet.)
In somewhat related news? I rode my bike about 16 miles today, in intra-city errand-running. This city is really quite excellently bike-friendly. I -think- I drank enough water on the way, but I dunno, it's hard to tell.
I feel like I really should post about some fannishness of some sort? But I can't really think of anything right now.
