It was all going so well, stringing a few half Primary’s together, started to think that the Kidney stone from the left kidney might be of a different kind, the smoother pebbly variety, smaller too perhaps and that it was on it’s way out relatively painlessly.

No such luck, they (probably only male doctors) compare kidney stones to giving birth….it smarts a bit.
Thankfully I still had the medication from last year and the out of hours GP on NHS Direct gave me the all clear to start taking them, it’s taken the edge off. Supposedly the naproxen will kick in after a day or two and I should be able to walk around again and get back to work…and practice, last time practice seemed to help.

Kidney Stone Practice

Tuesday, 15 May 2012
Yoga, you let me down…or did you?

So no practice and Cold, snotty nose and sore throat, is throwing off the pranayma but I have been doing some chanting along with Manjus DVD and plan on practicing some of Gregor’s pratyahara and meditation techniques….as well as listening to some cricket.

Thank you to Łukasz Przywóski of  www.ashtangayoga.pl for sending me this, seems I have pitta stones

Might hurt like hell but at least it’s on the way out, hopefully by the end of the week, a Crystal for my 50th birthday. M. said she’d leave me if I ever got into crystals, chakras are one thing but a wife has to draw the line somewhere.  That will still leave two or three weeks to cobble together a half decent primary for Manju.
