"Regret
for the things we did can be tempered by time;
it is regret for the
things we did not do that is inconsolable."

I am trying to be very careful about caring for my 1.5 kidneys, drinking lots of water, watching carbs and protein, and avoiding excesses of minerals.
This morning, as usual, when I got up I went straight to the bathroom to piddle.
I was horrified to find the toilet full of blood! Scared me half to death!
Then I remembered that the evening before I had eaten a half a dragon fruit, the red kind. I went straight downstairs and looked it up on the internet. Yeah, it's known to color your urine.
So, maybe the red was a good thing. Maybe it shows my kidneys are doing their job.
--------------------------------------------
That was my first dragon fruit. I'd heard people rave about them. I dunno, maybe I got a stale one or something, 'cause it didn't taste like anything, very blah. Less flavorful even than watermelon. I ate only half because they have a lot of calcium and potassium, which I need to be careful of, so the other half is still sitting in the refrigerator.
Ever try dragon fruit? Did I get a flavorless one? Or is this blahness a usual taste reaction?
