Well, I think I'm basically in trouble with the water / sodium thing. I don't make a habit of keeping a water bottle with me all the time. I do drink too much coffee (probably 4 mugs
) and 2 6oz glasses of water with my vitamins / meds. So now I have to cut out the coffee (except for my morning cup I refuse to stop that one, I won't wake up) and take my pills with tomato juice. I can't see doing that for the rest of my life.
Lucylee, this is likely to be a forever thing. I guess coffee and tea is the same as plain water in that if one has an imbalance of electrolytes, liquids without those minerals dilute and wash out what little is in the body. Since I don't drink lots of water, I only have coffee to cut out. Blast!
Lilac, I had missed that your DH's surgery was today. I'm glad everything went well, though too bad he fell. Walking with crutches is an art I guess, one must get used to it for a while. Crutches made DH's shoulders sore when he tried them. I hope his recovery is 100%.
So, I am paying for having the morning off, goofing off with my 2 girlfriends at the pancake restaurant. I never did get the dishwasher unloaded and I had to wash today's dishes because there was no place to put them. We got interrupted a couple times during dinner and I had to reheat some.
I got the berries brought in from the Mulberry tree, the broccoli and tomato from the garden in and washed. Some paperwork done. Tomorrow I will catch up the rest.
Kathryn, that is too bad about the smoke. Isn't there someone you can tell? I have a friend who had to sell her villa because the attached villa next door was occupied by a smoker and the smoke entered her unit. She sold to a smoker who didn't care.
I never said what my foot exrays showed. I have 3 broken toes, all three right at the area where they join the foot. The 2nd toe is diagonal across the others are straight across. Dr. put a foam pad into the bottom of my tennis shoe (which feels the same as a sock that has bunched up down underneath a foot). My lump on other leg is a hematoma and I'm to rub it with vit E to help break up the blood in there. The green down the front of that leg is because of the lump (blood under the skin) which will eventually go away. Dr. said the green would all eventually turn yellow then go away. I'm not supposed to go back unless the pain doesn't go away. He could see the breaks were healing.
Harriet, how is your back? Better I hope.
