Not to set off an Organ Recital, but it seems that I have some very large oxalic crystal deposits in my renal glands on both sides, to both Port and Starboard.
I believe this is the correct Medical terminology, as in:
LOOKOUT #1: Giant Kidney Stone off the starboard bow!
LOOKOUT #2: Even gianter Kidney Stone off the port quarter!
CAPTAIN AHABERDASHER: Steer her straight between them, right down the Urethra, Mr. Starbuckscoffee!
FIRST MATE: Aye, aye, Capting!
As a consequence, if I work out too vigorously, I have some unpleasant side effects:
(In other words, my urine is dark brown, not just from dehydration, but because it's apparently full of blood, or bile, or something.)
Besides wondering, "Am I going to die?", this means that I have had to really cut down on my excercise. But since it was such a nice day today, I biked on back roads from Groveland to Newburyport, crossed over to Amesbury on the Chain Bridge, and then biked west along the shore of the Merrimack, back to Haverhill and the bridge to Groveland. That area, and especially the stretch along the river, is beautiful, so even though it was only a 23-mile ride, it was a scenic one.
