Bun morning, Everybun!
We're doing well and enjoying Charlie's good stretch.
On M*nd*y, the biped got more remedial training on "doing the squeeze." The good doctor had him start the expression and watched. After that, she made sure all that could be out was out.
That was just pure gold. The biped only wishes started that sooner.
Then, for days we did not detect any grit or sediment in the morning pee-puddles. A couple of times my biped could feel the stones rolling around and grinding against each other in that poor bladder. It is such a strange sensation to feel the stones in that little body.
We asked Dr. Zellner how the grit forms, and she said the precipitation forms when the concentration of whatever later becomes chalc and grit reaches a certain threshold. So, the lower the concentration
of calcium in the urine, the lower the chance of bad stuff forming. Hence the sub-q fluids every morning, the expression, the morning squeezes (the biped's attempts at expression, if you're new to this story).
My biped thing that process is similar to how raindrops form. When moisture levels in the air exceed a certain level, that moisture starts to condense into droplets, and bigger droplets form, and you get - precipitation.
Anything we can get out is a win.
That's how boring this stretch is. We're waxing about the rain of grit.
And speaking of rain, we've plenty of it coming our way this weekend, so the loafing and arting routine will be in full swing. We'll enjoy this Halloween as much as we can. Oh, where did the year go!?
We'll keep you posted!
