BD.org Sicko
A week at home and so far so good.
Not resumed my regular BP tablets yet (worried they might interact in undesireable ways with the pharmas I was sent home with from the hospital - and my BP was always OK as in well inside normal range when measured at the hospital (several times per day)).
GP coming to see me this afternoon and I'll ask if I still need to take Natrilix and Zan-Extra or if I need something different. Was instructed to see GP within week of discharge.
Been having the best nights' sleeps for years since returning home, only waking if disturbed or at the crack of dawn , big difference to having to get up several times per night to pee like I had while on the Natrilix and Zan-Extra.
Cut back from 4 Optifast meals (with Benefibre in 2) + 1 veg + 1 salad meal per to 3 Optifast meals (NO added Benefibre) + either salad or veg stur-fry (is nice with satay and or oyster sauce).
Not having the low cal jellies like I was (3x per day in hospital) or the low cal cordials (like I was getting several times per day) or the clearified "broths", but will ask about Heinz Tomato Soup (heated with water rather than my usual milk and water) as noted it's <1% fat and very low cal in the can.
Would love a nice bit of cheese or a couple of dry fried eggs will ask about this too while on the Intensive Stage of the program.
Got use of the A-Frame walker sorted now.
Yet to see the visiting dietition.
Update on spikey children.
Toothless is looking pretty daggy with bits of shed hanging off him.
Rex was so thirsty last night she was liking the bit of paper towel I placed under her chin while I was using the water bottle to put drops of water on her nose. She even drunk from a bowel (first time I've seen her do this ! in 4 years !).
