Random 5 Friday

After Sis' hospital stay, her doctor wanted to be sure she wouldn't get dehydrated from her final chemo.  Arrangements were made with Home Health Care to deliver an IV pole and fluids to her every other day for four treatments.

By her fourth IV fluid bag, she was feeling good.  And by good, I mean stronger, more energetic.  Sis goes to her doctor today to find out the results of her recent blood-work and what is next...thoughts and prayers, Sis!  (Just got off the phone with Sis...wbc down a tad, but just a tad; all other numbers look good!!!)  CT Scan scheduled for late Feb...praying

Sis and I have learned a lot through this.  Did you know that dehydration can cause lightheadedness, electrolyte imbalance, low blood flow, impacting oxygen levels carried in the bloodstream, lack of energy and increased heart rate? 

During chemo and listening to the doctor, she tried to take in a gallon of water daily.  That's a lot of water, said the Pres, which is how our discussion of water drinking began.  

I am a big water drinker...always have been...while the Pres is not.  

Opposites attract, I guess.
