... 12.2 Liters, because that was how much they drained out of me today. Roughly 27 pounds of fluid, floating around the abdomen cavity. Sigh. I weighed myself after as well, and my weight has gone up the past couple weeks. Today is 267.8 pounds. I admit, this past week, I had more days that were good ones, and I know there were more days where I wasn't so nauseous, that I could, and did, enjoy maybe a little more than I have been able to eat. But now it is back to watching the portions and foods. Having the Doctor basically put me on a low-sodium diet, has really brought out my attention to the foods we eat, and what is in them. We really need to get rid of all these chemical preservatives, colors, flavors, and whatnot... Another argument for another time ....
Not much on the calendar as of this point for the week. House/Ent. meetings tomorrow night, then this Friday is the graveside services at the VA Nat'l Cemetery for Marty R., whom I knew from the Post. I won't go for the service. But they are doing the Celebration of Life on Saturday evening at the Post, and I am planning on making an appearance, though am not sure how long I will stay. Don't care for the crowds.
Welp, it's short, but here.
