2 hours of agony took a hypo of morphia. Just before taking it however I passed a little very dark urine full of uric acid crystals which I think had been causing an obstruction in the ureter. I remembered that in the forenoon I had felt a dull ache in my right side which I put down to a fall I had from the bicycle on Wed. I spent all today in my bed very drowsy + occasionally sick from the Morphia but had no return of pain. Took no food but took plenty fluid. Fortunately I had almost nothing to do having left the coast clear for the day at St Mary’s with Sam Steel1.
