2 months 2 weeks post op. Felt bad this morning. Blood sugar

Blood sugar was 120. Dizzy dry heaves. Had appt for prep for carpal tunnel 50 miles away. They didn't want to see me because I looked bad. Hospital was next door. Nurse wheeled me over. After blood tests seems much sodium was almost low enough to cause seizures. I was admitted. Sitting her now. Tired but feeling better. Hospital food has increased my blood sugar... Oh. Much BP was 65 over 55... They blamed the sodium.

More answers tomorrow

Spent a couple of nights in the hospital. Home now. Feeling ok. Tired but ok. Sodium is good. My symptoms were like low blood sugar to me. Not much to do to improve my sodium except get an IV.

Oh. Told me to cut back on water! I've been working hard at drinking lots of Water. Now 6 eight ounce cups per day. No more than that. Geesh. Said that may have been washing out the sodium. Gah!

In the hospital for Breakfast this morning I had a biscuit, eggs and two pieces of bacon. I ate all the bacon and most of the biscuit and half the eggs. So there... I gained 2.4 lbs in hospital... But finally had a movement when I got home and lost half that... Heh. My weight seems to fluctuate 5 lbs some days anyway. I started using two scales just to check them against each other... So my numbers are fairly reliable.
