So, as you can see, I have come a long way. And you aint seen nothing yet.

Today's workout was a 45 minute swim. Did 42 laps in the gym pool. More blood in the urine, and today is the doc appointment, so I will find out more I hope.

UPDATE: Well the doc seems to think I may have another kidney stone. Although he mentioned I may not be in pain now, expect some soon. Joy....Joy.....Joy. Otherwise, my doc exam checked out ok and all the folks there were impressed with my progress to date. Now isn't that cool.
