Good Morning All x
Dull and damp here but I've got washing on so living in hope of a bit of a breeze later, if not then it's the dryer. I need to keep the washing down as I don't like it piling up.
A large shop at Asda yesterday in preparation for the twins calling in from school. Stuff I've never bought---fish fingers, pizzas and chicken dippers, all alien to me. I've still got the usual meat and veg for bigger meals if they want them and extra wrapped biscuits for the tin.
Congratulations for the arrival of the new baby, glad all went well.
Marydoll and dragonfly, so inspirational, like a breath of fresh air even with your problems you still manage to battle on as do others who have acute medical problems-------because we have to, ladies.
Just read Gillybob's post and speaking of battling on, your DH isn't going to give in for anyone, makes you wonder where all their strength comes from but good on him I say.
Potassium levels are dictated by food and certain medications for high BP as well as some water tablets and when potassium is high, sodium levels drop and when sodium levels are high potassium drops. It's quite difficult to get the right balance as both trigger problems when either high or low so it's not surprising that nothing's stable at the moment. Anaesthetics can affect the levels too especially as you get older as they tend to give a false reading of diabetes.
Pleased that the tracheotomy/tracheostomy ( there is a difference but I've partly forgotten) went okay as that will assist breathing and is usually performed after someone has been under assisted breathing for 3+ weeks or thereabouts.
The main thing is to look after yourself Gilly as DH is being looked after so grab a " cuppa soup " now and again to keep your own blood sugars ticking over. Stay strong girl xx
Everyone else, look after yourselves, it's important. Send us all a bit of your sunshine Urmstongran Enjoy yourself.
