Rowan Tree and Red Thread

On Friday I had my six-month appointment with Rogers, the urologist who dealt with my exciting kidney stone adventures last year. My x-ray came up clear but the 24 hour urine test still showed elevated levels of calcium. (It was 9.5 rather than in the normal range of 2.5 -- 7.5, but still down from 14 as it was last year. God knows what the units are.) He's referring me to a specialist nephrologist in the CUH to look at the kidney metabolism. There may be more dietary changes to make, even though I can't say I've been particularly good about it so far.

I briefly wondered if nanotech bacteria might be replacing my bones with metals and leaving me to excrete the excess calcium, but I doubt it. The x-rays don't support my flight of fancy. Poo to reality.
