Well, I dehydrated.

I have had this weird feeling in my feet the past two days. Like they are numb, or when they go to sleep. It was getting increasingly worse through today so I called Dr H's office to ask what they thought, and they told me I should go to the ER to get checked. I immedietly started to panic and prayed it wasnt a blood clot.

After a lot of scrambling and finding someone to watch the kids I got down to the ER a little before 5. I went back and did the usual testing, then they hooked me up for an IV. The NP came in and said I was pretty dehydrated, and a resident would be down to talk to me about my feet problems.

So I sat there "eating" my bag (as my husband said), and about 6:30 the resident came in and said he has never heard anything like this, nor has my surgon. He said he thought my B12 was probably low (which Im sure it was since it was low pre-surgery), and they gave me a multi-vitamin liquid (that tasted like ass), and a B12 shot and sent me on my way. They told me if the numbless increases and/or goes into my legs I need to get back ASAP.

I thought I was getting enough liquids, but I guess I'm not, which worries me. I cant stand anymore broth, or jello, or stupid popsicles. My dad keeps asking me how anyone can survive on so little, and I'm not really sure the answer.

Im going to write down everything I drink at this rate, I cant afford to be back in the hospital. I think I might beg my doctor monday to let me have more then just protein shakes and yougurt...maybe I can have some eggs or just SOMETHING.
