Home from the Hospital

A short 24 hour stay at the hospital, though they said I could stay another day.

Somehow I got so dehydrated that my kidneys shut down. I was urinating a plenty, i was getting plenty of liquids, even my surgeon missed it on Wednesday. I am very thankful I fainted on Thursday morning or I guess things would have gotten nasty.

Am going to measure out 64 ounces of water and try to drink that per day though it will be a stretch. Also, I'm going to just do water and protein shakes for the next week. The change over to food takes 4 hours of drinking time out of my day so I'm going to play it safe for awhile which my surgeon approves of.

I'm going to go to bed. Although I feel better than I have in 2 weeks (apparently my feeling awful and major weakness was mostly caused by the dehydration.

Thanks for all of your support! It really helped!
