Friday

Somehow it is Friday already. And Friday is almost over. Mrs Blogger and I began a 500-piece puzzle today that's just about the only thing new.

Mostly it feels like my whole insides have slowed down: my heart rate is slower, my appetite can barely support two meals, and they are giving me injections to help me pee. My entire alimentary canal feels slow: full, unhungry, and unmoving. The staff reminds me to order food.

I woke up this morning weighing 194 lbs, a 10-pound gain since admission and apparently almost 100% of which was water, since after the lasix (sp?) injection I started peeing immediately and didn't stop until I had lost 10 pounds.

Because they were overfilling me with water they have disconnected the tube that was pumping in water. As a result for the first time in several days I'm entirely without tether and can Pace back and forth in the room for exercise without hauling my IV stand with me.
