Hard Night day 9
Oct 10, 2012
Tonight has been rough on me.. I am not feeling full.. I have drank chicken broth, I have eaten a half lil bowl of Jello, I have opened Chicken noodle soup and drained the juice from it.. I have drank water and shakes.. Nothing seems to be helping.. I told Jason and he seemed to think that if I went walking it would help.. So I walked 6 blocks tonight.. And it did for the most part but I still want something.. Food lol...I will be OK and I will get through this.. It wont be much longer and I'll be able to start eating a lil.. Surgery is now only 6 days away god willing that my potassium level is up Monday...In which it should I am not going to take any water pills so that will help plus I am taking a total of 140 Meq in Potassium which is 14 pills a day.. Plus 2 magnesium pills which help keep the potassium in your body.. My PCP called me today cause I left a message with her telling her to change my potassium pills cause they are not coated and I threw up today because of trying to take them and they dissolve so fast.. Nope couldn't do it not that many at a time.. Well its 4 breakfast 5 lunch 5 dinner.. Yeah no.. So I got to choose what pill I wanted at the pharmacy today.. Dr approved it gave me 3 different options to choose from.. I got one that is coated.. yay Works a lot better.. I can now take the full 14 like I am supposed to.. I guess I'm just scared that they are going to postpone my surgery and if they do that then i will be very upset.. I'm so ready for it I have everything already packed and got my meds that they say I can take the morning of surgery already ready.. LOL I know its early but this way if I get it done now i wont forget anything cause it will already be packed and not only that I have to stay at Jason's place so he can take me in the morning with his mom.. So its good to have it done and plus it gives me time to add more if need be.. LOL... I did do one thing today.. I told Jason that one of my goals was to be able to cross my legs without sitting on my hip.. Well I did it today.. May have not been for a long time but the thing is I did it.. Yay...
