I’ve been doing good as far as I know. I just can’t keep my energy level up.. I walk 1.5-2 miles at least 3 times a day.. when I get up.. noon and evening. I get my proteins and water in, I feel okay but I’m sluggish. I get tired when I stop, I was taking two different BP medicines and my wife said it had to be my medicine. Today for the 3rd -4th day in a row I get light headed. I decided to call and see if my doctor would see me..(She’s like family) I was told to come in and I went. My BP was 102-62 and my blood sugar was 78.
We talked for a while and she said “You know like I do, you are hard to regulate and I’m happy with the numbers but you coming off some medicine. She took me off one BP pill and cut the other dosage from 40mg to 20mg. She said she wants me to have more electrolytes. So I’m gonna start with Powerade Zero..
I weighed 2lbs less than I have been weighing at home but I’m not changing the ticker tape till I can confirm on the scales I normally weigh on.
I hope I have figured out the only issue I’ve had since my surgery date. She said I could start resistance training but no weight lifting till after the 30th. I asked about “Pickelball and Racquetball” and she said keep walking !! So I’m going to listen, I’m just so ready to be told OKAY YOUR OK to resume WHATEVER !!.... I’m working on being patient and I’m mentally preparing for my first stall I know it’s coming !!... but I wanted to share I’m losing Medicines !!... so to me that’s one of them non scale victories !!! Tomorrow I go to dermatologist I’ve seen dentist, PCP and tomorrow dermatologist and hoping I’ll be done !!...
Hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY and start to An even better week.
