The great Gatorade give-away
Feb. 21st, 2022 09:11 pmThe on-call nurse yesterday broke the sad news to me that what I thought was a healthy drink Gatorade Zero, was a major source of sodium, and I needed to find a new home for the three sets of a dozen bottles I'd recently purchased. Luckily a post on the neighborhood garage sale FB site got an immediate response and a neighbor came by to haul them away. I forgot to ask if she wanted the Coca Cola too.
So my order for Albertson's includes some coconut water which I hope is in stock, and more diet cranberry juice than usual. The only other low sodium drinks I see are veggie drinks like V8 which I detest, and flavored water which I can make at home.
When she called and said she would be in my area 2-4 pm, I told my nurse I had a Skype call at 4, so please be early. She didn't show up until 3:30, and she got involved in being on hold for my doctor, who went into a panic from her inaccurate description of my edema. He wanted me to right away go to urgent care for an ultrasound. No way. First of all, no transportation and second of all there's a 3-hour wait at urgent care. He wants me to come to his office Wednesday. I'm being visited tomorrow by a phlebotomist who is doing a blood draw for my nephrologist which should show how not-panic-mode my kidneys are in.
And nurse ignored my please to go away and let me get on my Skype call, so instead of the usual 90 minutes I only got to chat with a friend for half an hour.
The call from the PCP office to confirm the appointment and book transportation came during my Skype call so I sent it to voicemail. I will call them tomorrow.
But the BASFA zoom at 8 helped my mental health.
Breakfast was a banana. Lunch was some sheep milk cheese on nasty tasting crackers. Dinner was a mom's meal of boneless pork ribs & corn followed by berries.
There was supposed to be coconut water coming from Walmart but they decided to ship it instead of delivery it from the store. No idea when that will get here.
90 Day was disappointing. My favorite couple is breaking up and the worst couple is staying together. At least the Muslim man put the brakes on marrying his sex obsessed woman.
Tomorrow:
