Kidney all clear

Right as rain, says the precautionary X-Ray.

Old-skool doc tells me to keep up my fluid levels. "Just don't drink
lots of milk."

<Careful voice>

"Beer?"

"Some people think not, but I think the fluid volume far outweighs any
other danger, so yes, beer's fine."

<More careful voice>

"I drink quite a lot of wine..."

"That's fine. I don't really care what you tip into the top end as long
as it comes out the other end."

Splendid. Tonight I shall mostly be drinking Polish lager and Chilean
Merlot.

 

Heheheh, had a similar conversation mith my doc' first time I got them.


It seems I produce 'dust' ... every so often my kidney has a hiccup and
i have about six months where I'm occasionally bent double for no
apparent reason (steady on BGN) other than I have excruciating pain,
which obviously no-one else can see so pass it off as hysterics or
something. No real reason for it other than "It's probably genetic",
which doesn't give me great confidence, and that "when it happens
again, as it will, just more fluids than usual and painkillers as
necessary!

It also seems Newcastle Brown is 'a good thing' ...

<thinks back to the one time they got hammered on Newcastle Brown>

No... I can confirm catergorically that Newcastle Brown is *not* a good
thing.

 

What, as in you're already puking so you can't tell the difference?

 

Not as good a cure as air travel.

Cheers, that's my new mantra sorted.

I had my stone when I was drinking little else but coffee and real ale. The
latter can contain the oxalates that are a major constituent of kidney
stones. I imagine the hydration-dehydration-rehydration cycle associated
with ale drinking didn't help either.

I haven't had one since. My fluid intake, for the last decade has been much
more varied. Fruit juice with breakfast; half the number of coffees per
day; a litre or two of squosh during the day; ale perhaps twice a week and
then 3x500ml bottles rather than 8 pints in the pub; plus lots of wine.

 

@news.individual.de:

I like G&Ts but wouldn't heep a bottle of gin in the house. It would
disappear at a similar rate to port, which is not a good thing.

Hence, I have not conducted a long term trial. I suspect, as the gin &
tonic water do not contain many dissolved minerals, that they will be good
flushing agents. The lemon or lime will provide antioxidants which are
surely a good thing?

That can't be good for anyone. Anybody that drinks something tasting of
Bertie Bassett's boxer shorts has to be fucked in the head

[G&Ts]

Well, I've got a lime now. It was free from the market stall I just
visited. The errant lime rolled off a stack and attacked the server. She
said, "you can have that bloody thing," and popped it in the bag with my
nectarines.

So, all I need to do now is pop down to the offie and try to engineer the
same thing with a bottle of gin...

 

15p? I hate to think what you are like when being cheap

 

[G&T]

Just the one. Right. Can you get it all in a pint glass these days,
or do you still use the big mixing jug?

Snorting it is deffo contra-indicated: leads to nasal stones, which
can be particularly unpleasant to dig out.

Pass the pastis, there's a good feller.

 

Traditional or cheese & onion?

Eh?

Oh...

 

Just make sure they're Ginsters, none of that Pork Farms shite...oh no!

 

Ah, still into big jugs then.

The culinary experience gathered on ukrm is quite astonishing.

 

Who mentioned cooking?
