The doldrums

The posts are getting further apart. I should be more diligent in posting.

I saw Dr. Chaudry last week and I weighed 181, which makes a weight loss of 39# for me! WooHoo! I ordered size 14 slacks from Lands' End, and they FIT! My blood pressure has been fairly low, systolic in the low 100s or 90s. I also was feeling pretty fatigued. My TSH was normal. I feel like I have been retaining a lot of water, as I can gain 3-4 pounds in a day. So I stopped the Cardura, and still my B/P is low to okay. Somedays I am diuresing, not so much other days. Dr. Collins ordered spironolactone for me, so I will start that to see if I can keep some of this fluid off. I would like to be able to eat pretzels and other salty stuff!

I am sooooo missing Steve. I just don't have anyone that I can tell my problems to. Wayne is the major problem. Even if it isn't Wayne, he doesn't seem very interested in anything that I am interested in.
