Well they cut me loose from the hospital today, 20 lb. lighter and breathing much easier. Now to continue the weight loss regimen! They are allowing me to go back to the gym for therapy, so that's good too.
I also really need to monitor my liquid and salt intake; together they turn me into Sponge Dread. ARRR ya ready, kids? LOL
Anyway, I need to restrict liquids to 1 liter and sodium to 2 grams, daily. The salt one pretty much eliminates all processed foods in order to stick to 2 grams, but that just means we'll eat more fresh stuff. I'm the grocery and chef guy here so I can make it happen.
In order to follow a regimen I need to document it daily, meals, weight, etc. so I made a spreadsheet to keep track of everything.
And like I said, Mrs. Dread (Micki) and my daughter Annalee, both RN's, are gonna be on me like white on rice.
I'm really proud of Annalee for taking the reins on my health care and making stuff happen this week. She's getting me set up with some innovative in-home care kinda stuff for ongoing too.
