Priscilla (capt noonie) needs good thoughts and prayers

[dottiesyrky]

How comforting to have your babies come in to see you. . Which pup is the one on your avatar, so cute with the tufty top knot?
I feel for you being in a place like you are and feeling you should be home instead. Hoping the nurses and docs can get you discharged soon. Your own bed will feel so great!
So sorry that you are prone to another attack, just like in our babies.
Do you have to eat a limited diet in the future as well as no alcohol?
I wonder if you are off liquids only now and eating more solid food?
Hope you will be posting from home very soon.
Hugs.

Does this mean you can come and help decorate my house?

Food!

Finally I got solid food. Chicken, carrots, and rice. The chicken was grilled w inion and peppers and luckily mostly dark meat, as I hate white meat. The carrots were gross and just steamed. The rice was dry and hard. But I ate everything. So grateful to have real food.

But I've had a headache for three straight days now. My head has been hurting more than my abdomen. They have given me meds for pain but this headache just isn't going away.

Yes limited diet, low fat, no alcohol. I've been craving hummus and cucumber for weeks. That's probably the first thing I will make once I get home.

That's Uni in my avatar. She was trying to bite her hair clip off and I got that pic of her. She usually uses her paws to move the clip down towards her face, then once it's in front of her mouth she tries to bite it. It's very funny to watch.

Hi.
Thanks for the info.
The good news is you are eating solid food again, Yeh! I am so sorry that they would give you such boring and tasteless food for your first meal. You must have been very hungry to eat it, oh I wish it were a better meal though.
Perhaps your bf could bring you in something more palatable?
Sorry you have to go on the human Hills ID Prescription- like diet in the future. But I am sure you will be able to come up with tasty meals within the guidelines.
Uni is so cute and I loved the explanation for the 'look'! What a charmer!
The headache sounds horrible and I hope the pain meds make it better soon. Have you any idea why you are getting this now, or did you get them in the other hospital?
You don't need headaches too, so praying that all the symptoms will go away and you can go home and feel good again.
Hang in there. Hummus and cucumber on its way
Hugs

Three years ago I had kidney failure due to taking Motrin while being dehydrated. I'm thankful to tell you that my kidneys recovered but a side affect was a total loss of interest in alcohol. Now, that was a biggie as I drank wine and brandy. I also loss my appetite for coffee but forced myself to drink coffee as I had just purchased a new Kuerig. Ha ha. Anyway, I have never missed drinking alcohol which really surprises me. I hope you,too, have no problem leaving it forever. Health is the most important thing to have. Hope you get out of there ASAP.

[capt_noonie]

Thing is for me, it didn't make me lose interest in alcohol. I have to stop drinking alcohol whether I crave it or not. Today I am one month sober. It would have been harder if I had been at home. Bf downgraded to redwine only. But he doesn't have the health issue I do. But we have to quit together. My kidneys are fine thankfully. It's my pancreas and liver that need to recover. My stomach is almost back down to normal. My stomach was no where close to being flat before I got sick but I could still suck it in. I cannot do that now. I was 120 lbs+ before and I am down to 107. I am sure going home and back to regular food I will gain it back.

One of the nurses said the headaches possibly were a side effect of one of the meds. It was a patch for blood pressure they stuck on my chest. I took it off and the headache went away. I will refuse it from now on. Esp since they already give me a pill for blood pressure at night so I don't get it. They gave me something similar at the other hospital but not for a while. They gave that to me when I couldn't take anything by mouth. Now that I can I don't understand why they are giving it to me.

[Maximo]

Yea for solid food!

Oh my gosh, you lost a lot of weight. I'm glad your belly swelling is going down, and that you found out that the patch was giving you the headache.

[dottiesyrky]

So glad to hear the headaches have now gone. Fancy the BP meds halving that effect? At least it was an easy fix....take the patch off.
Hope the oral BP meds are easier on you.
So now you can concentrate on eating and putting some weight back on and getting fit enough to go home.
Hope the meal quality improves!

[dottiesyrky]

Should read....Fancy the BP meds having that effect? ( not halving, LOL!)

I am so glad you are getting better day by day. . Galen and I send good healing thoughts and puppy kisses xoxox

So low fat? That just gives you a good reason to eat tons of fish.

[capt_noonie]

Yes I love fish. Finally they gave me a menu to choose what I want. Two times I got the choice of fish. I hope it's not over cooked and dry. But anyway when I get home, I love to make steamed fish with ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce on rice. So easy and yummy.

Just saw this and read twenty some pages, and have been on the edge of my seat! I'm so glad you are doing better, so shocked to hear how sick you were, I've always thought you were so healthy. I'm sure this experience will change your life in many ways, I just want you to know that I'm praying for you and think you are an amazing women!
