Holmium Laser Lithotripsy or (Kidney Stone Blaster!)

Holmium Laser Lithotripsy or (Kidney Stone Blaster!)

This past week, I had my bi-annual kidney stone attack. Only, this attack was a culmination of a bunch of small attacks that have happened over the last few months.

It finally got to the point where I couldn't keep anything down (read: upchuck) and I decided to call my urologist.

It happened Sunday night after I had scheduled my Pork Laxative blog for Monday morning distribution. In fact, it happened ALL Sunday night. I slept about 2 hours because the pain had me up and ambulatory (read: moving around like a Gypsie, no offense intended).

Latin word alert: Ambulare - to walk or move about, which is a reference to early medical care where patients were moved by lifting or wheeling.

Pork, The Natural Laxative

Pork, The Natural Laxative

Yesterday, I made the bestest breakfast in the world. I fried up three sausage patties, six slices of bacon, and two eggs over easy. Then I added two pieces of toast, slathered in enough butter so that it seeped through to the back of the bread.

In an expert's opinion, it's not a real healthy breakfast.

One could even argue that it's worse for me than my usual Pop Tart ensemble .

I'm not sure which way I'd go on that. One breakfast is nothing but sugar while one consists of a week's worth of fat. Calorie-wise, the Pop Tart breakfast wins. Hands down.

Pop Tarts (among other things)

Pop Tarts (among other things)

My normal breakfast consists of scarfing down a Pop Tart on my way to the office in the morning. Usually because I'm too lazy to fix something healthy to eat.

Sometimes, though, I switch to a granola bar. Peanut Butter S'mores or Chocolate Chip Chunk. Good stuff.

But lately, I've been into the Strawberry and Blueberry Pop Tarts. Brown Sugar and Cinnamon too. So that's where this article comes from.
