Ok, sent my little buddy packing today. Pump free!! I had to stay for fluids today because I'm having bad leg cramps. I mean bad enough that I can't walk. My BP was also 180/100+. I didn't take my BP meds because on Tuesday one of the nurses suggested I stop my BP meds for a day or two and see if the dizzy had stopped. Well, it stopped but my BP tried to kill me!! Its always something. SO..I went home and got my BP and took it, stopped and got a BP Cuff, went to work and took diarrhea medicine. So far so good. I'm a walking medical nightmare but my bp is back to 125/84. I won't stop taking my meds anymore even for a day or two.
So far, treatment two isn't quite bad really. I know it sounds like it does but I can't complain yet. Everything is under control. Tomorrow is the day that was so bad after treatment one. We'll see how that shapes up. Oh yeah, I can complain about one thing that is driving me nuts. This damned neuralgia (sp) . The reaction to cold. ROOM TEMPERATURE DRINKS DO NOT QUENCH THIRST....NOPEY NOT ONE BIT...BUT. if you're me and you pick up a bottle of vitamin water that you think is not too cold....the needles that start at the lips and go straight down your throat will inform you that it was way too cold!!! Yep, I'm going to be thirsty until this passes. Hopefully very soon. hehehe...
Rosco is furious at me by the way. I came home last night very tired. I didn't do much, sat on the couch around 7 pulled over the lap top and....woke up at 11:00 PM. went to my bed and got up at 6:30 am. He wasn't happy with his very tired Mom but mom felt pretty good this morning. Too bad I can't sleep that much every day.!!!
Oh yeah, and I haven't bought a convertible yet. Went back to french nails but I may be getting in the mood for hot pink..
Keep you posted about tomorrow and how its going.
Sounds like you're doing well all things considered!!! I'm proud of you :-)
