Good morning buddies!
Well I had planned to go to the barn today since it was supposed to be cool and not too humid (I am /not/ used to the extra high heat and crazy humidity of SoMo yet) BUT I woke up with another kidney stone! This is the third one this year and it hurts like hell and shot my plans for exercise since I had to take Vicodin to get any relief at all. It still feels like I have a Charlie horse in the lower right side of my back but I can breathe properly again so that's a start. The down side is I get sleepy and slow to react with this medicine, not exactly compatible with being around big animals when a storm might roll through
Anyway there is a point to all this rambling. I already knew type 2 diabetics are more prone to kidney stones and I've already taken the steps of more water, less sugar, less alcohol (I've had a single sip in the last seven months). My blood sugar has been very well in control as well. What I didn't know is that weight loss causes reactions in your body that can release acids, causing your uric acidity to go up. It makes me glad to know that that could very well be why I have have three stones this year instead of my usual one stone.
You know what they say. No pain no gain.
