Does this guy look like any manager you ever saw? Yes? Ok, he's not my point but the water drops on the glass are. In my prior post about water called Well Compensated I wrote about what heart failure does to my ability to keep my fluid balance.
I am in the time of management in the transplant process. Water management. I had previously given up alcohol due to the meds but giving up water has been much tougher! Yeah, give up water - think about it.
That slice of watermelon or yoghurt cup must be counted along with the coffee, tea or sips of anything because they are just, like, with you. You can't get rid of them because you don't work like people should.
Management means observation, control and reaction in this case. Watch the intake, watch the weight and react with controls (physical and pharmaceutical) before a crisis puts you in the hospital to be "dried out". No one wants to be there if they can help it!
Nothing new about the transplant right now - I'm in the holding pattern. Could be today, next year or never. I do know that, by the time folks do get the transplant that they are ready! Some have to go through more degredation of their live than others and I am happy and thankful to not be on a VAD (artificial heart assist device) or stuck in the hospital as they are.
It's management but it's good, too.
