暖冬cool夏
這裏一年四季溫暖如春，沒有酷暑沒有嚴寒......
好些年前，一天夜裏邊上有個朋友膽結石發作，疼痛難忍送急診，從急診住院最後手術割掉膽囊，取出很大塊的結實。 後來我去他家時，他還拿出結石給我看過，好幾顆，而他描述當時送急診時的疼痛時，用了"上竄下跳"這四個字。
"You’ve tricked me.” The nice young ER doctor said smilingly. “It is a kidney stone that travels like this in your body to the current UV junction.” The doctor gestured a diagonal line from a kidney to the left lower abdomen.
I felt a bit relieved at the conclusion from the CT scan, that it was a 6mm stone dropping from the left kidney that caused the acute pain and the vomit. Pain was gone by the time the high dosage pain-killer had been inside the body for an hour or so. Tired and dazed with sleep, I was home 2 am in the morning of 02/25/2019.
However, my second ER experience on 02/27/2019 wasn’t that lucky. Wednesday evening’s ER was much more crowded. Though nobody looked as painful as I did, I was left unattended in the check-in lounge groaning for almost two hours before being admitted. Then a nonchalant young doctor saw me, without much enthusiasm, without much advice, a bit inexperienced to me too. He followed the first ER doctor’s medication, and instead of another CT scan, which was unnecessary, I had an X-ray. But the X-ray could not detect the stone. I was released around 10:20 pm at the night, being told that I would have to take the pain-killer Toradol every six hours around the clock for the next five days.
When Thursday came, the first thing I did in the morning was to call and make an appointment with a urologist, but the referred urologist wouldn’t be available until March 8. Worrying about the coming weekend, I decided to go with any doctor available in the group. So, Friday morning I found myself talking to a very young specialist who started practicing since 2018. She suggested surgery and had it scheduled in advance if by the time the stone still would not pass on by itself. She dismissed the ER doctor’s around-the-clock pain killer advice, but to take it as needed. A white-color strainer was given to me upon my leave.
I started to drink water like a cow in the weekend and hoped that the stone would pass on. However, much to my disappointment, large quantity of water resulted in frequent pees, with no anticipated small stone filtered out in the strainer.
Then came Monday. I called my family doctor, asking specifically for a urologist in the network, who was referred by the first ER doctor, for a second opinion. Then I frequented the company kitchen for more water, squeezing fresh lemon to it as suggested online and a friend who left a comment in my blog. Then something happened. A brownish small stone was spotted at the bottom of a toilet when I went to restroom. Before I could take a closer look, it was flushed away automatically. I stared at the clean toilet, empty and void of anything. Within minutes, I started to question myself. Was it really a kidney stone I saw?
The doctor I saw the very next day on Tuesday obviously looked more experienced and confident. By the time I saw him, I did so much homework by myself that I know a 6mm kidney stone has about fifty percentage chance of passing on by itself. Stones smaller than 5-6mm have much higher possibility. What I didn't know or what the three doctors did not tell me is that a 6mm kidney stone diagnosed by a CT scan could be 4-5mm in reality. Hearing this from the last doctor I saw, who said with an affirmative expression, I was led to believe that the little stone I saw the day before must be it, as pain did not afflict me again ever since.
我想生，可是我的肚子就是長不大，怎麽生？唉，都說了，來世一定要做女人，生個夠。
問好暖冬，周末賞花快樂！
嗬嗬，喝什麽水？自來水還是礦泉水？冷水還是開水？
喝水多這是真理，醫生都這麽說，但要依每個人的狀態來選定適合的礦泉水。因為有些瓶裝的礦泉水中礦物質含量較高，主要是鈣和鎂。鈣過量攝入，是有可能增加腎結石的患病幾率的。
我是下輩子要做女人的家庭主男，周末老婆總是叫我買她指定的礦泉水品牌，我當初納悶為何，她好好的給我上了一課，受用匪淺。
從今以後要好好善待自己，像師傅一樣，每天喝很多水，不僅健康，對皮膚也有利。飲食和鍛煉相結合，還有就是睡眠要好，睡美容覺。當然啦，心情要舒暢，開心多笑。；）
祝福徒兒健康快樂！
多喝水，
腎結石在男性中挺常見的，我們部門人不多，就有兩個男同事有嚴重的腎結石。其中一個因為開始沒有症狀，結石堵住了輸尿管，導致一側腎髒長期積水差點失去功能。妹妹這篇文章很有用，可以科普和提醒大家。
盡管水落石出，但博主務必要改變飲食習慣，特別是那個博主早幾年前說過的話，”以前，我總是喜歡嫩豆腐。。。，現在是有機豆腐。。。”，豆腐是結石的成因之一。
千萬不要用上”石頭記”這個博文標題，因為香港”達明一派”樂隊就有首石頭記的歌，裏頭的歌詞非常cool，分分鍾讓你變成了”滾石”樂隊一員。
試改改歌詞以應景一下：
。。。。。。
真真假假（結石）
悉悲歡恩怨原是石
絲絲點點計較
偏偏相差太遠
兜兜轉轉
化作段段痛緣
紛紛擾擾作崇
春宵戀戀牽掛
。。。。。。
水飄送
樂韻
人獨舞亂衣鬢
一心把思緒拋 卻似石如真
肚腹內惡夢複浮沉
一心把生關死結與石同流
焉知那笑黶藏喜印
水落
石出。

題目就叫“石頭記”
I was aware of many benefits of lemon but started to drink water with it regularly after your first post.
Your story and advice are especially relevant as I just started training for long distance running.
Thank you!
