Jan. 23rd, 2017 01:53 amDefinitely feeling better, and fully hydrated.
Popsicles are easier to swallow than water. Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit are very good.
I've been taking an ACE inhibitor + diuretic for 17 years. Every time my doctor didn't like my blood pressure, she'd up the dosage. When she got to the maximum dosage on both components, she decided that I should take that twice a day.
Now, when swallowing was really difficult, I wasn't taking my blood pressure medicine. This was probably part of the problem.
I've always known that in a Lord of the Flies type situation I would be Piggy. Fukken bodies!
I also take potassium, to compensate for the diuretic. This is what the potassium tablet looks like: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/boxofdelights/833604/59044/59044_900.jpg I am definitely not going to be swallowing one of those any time soon.
I thought Gatorade was supposed to have potassium. Isn't that the whole point of Gatorade?
When I can't sleep but my eyes are too tired to read, I start ruminating. Fifty years of failures and resentments, everything I don't want to think about, all seem to tangle together, like pulling hair out of a shower drain. They might turn into a shame spiral around YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE. YOU DON'T DESERVE LOVE. or one that ends in YOU'RE A VICTIM. YOU DESERVE ALL THE LOVE BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET ANY BECAUSE THE WORLD IS CRUEL. or those might twin together around YOU'RE A LOSER. YOU WILL DIE ALONE. IF YOU'RE LUCKY SOMEONE WILL NOTICE IN TIME TO RESCUE YOUR DOGS.
This is why I hate going to bed if I'm not feeling sleepy.
