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.
The first link is to the green Smoothie Kidney stone pos from last year, the second from a week later when it finally came out, with a picture of the little bugger.

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.

No idea why I got them again, no smoothies, no raw spinach, must look again at what i have or haven't been eating

Wow. So beautiful and horrible, these little stones. All the best as you go through this, or rather, it you.

Hi Angela, yes they are beautiful but terrifying too if you google image search 'calcium oblate kidney stone electron microscope'.
Thank you for the link, I've tried a little pain meditation in the past, headaches, toothache, muscle ache etc. but nothing at this level good opportunity to explore. There's a good hour between the pills starting to wear off and when I can take the next lot that will be perfect. I notice too that all here parts are on YouTube and also some led sessions http://youtu.be/weE4WO48_UU
Thanks again
More from someone who uses the technique. Sort of trite presentation; *profound* practice.

Thank you again, having ...'fun' with this included it in a post I've been adding bits to all day.
