My Stones

It was all a false alarm! I have no internal namesakes to be concerned about. The tests are back and there is no evidence of any stoney products residing in my personal plumbing.
As happy as that makes me, the doctor is still at a loss to explain why I was in excruciating pain for a week. This leaves me feeling a little uneasy. Apparently all of the organs viewed via ultra sound came back looking AOK. The only thing left to do is have more blood tests - these ones specific to my liver. When these are assessed I will know if there is something further to be addressed or if I just had an inflammation of the liver that has gone away due to me taking anti-inflammatory drugs and modifiying my diet and grog consumption.
So regardless of the outcome, I have finally experienced a catalyst for change. Having undergone the worry, the tests and not to mention the extreme discomfort of whatever my condition was - I can see how my lifestyle could possibly lead to alot more problems in the future.
I have by no means experienced an epiphanic moment and have now seen the light, going to go tee total and eat only organic, free range, free trade mung beans. I am just going to pull back a little. Lower my grog consumption and make an effort to eat a little better (goodbye centimetre thick butter on my vegemite toast in the morning). I can already feel the benefts and my bowel is very grateful. Who knows I may even lose some weight in the process. (see, I have worked it out, that's how they do it)
