Debbie Cousins's Journal, 22 Jul 23

Yesterday was a very stressful day. Hospital called and said my blood work showed low Sodium level and that I needed to come back in and have blood drawn again. They remembered me telling them the day before that I had drunk a gallon of water before testing, and they said that was probably the reason. Had grandson for the second day in a row, and he was a (hard-to-swallow) pill! Sink backed up, which it has done that several times in the past couple months. Unlike the other times, though, when I plunged it a ton of this black stuff came up, but the water still wouldn’t go down. I showed my hubby and he said maybe the elbow was as clogged. When he pulled that off, another ton of black stuff gushed out, and splashed out of the big bowl we had put under it, all over under the 6’ cabinet, on the rug, and on him! Six hours and two Lowe’s trips later, he thought he had it fixed. In the process, he shoveled out a bunch of shoe-paste consistency, pitch black gunk. It was a fiasco! Ran the dishwasher, and it backed up in the sink again, and they wouldn’t drain. Now he thinks he needs to clean out a third pipe (the only one he hadn’t done). Grandson had to spend the night because daughter wanted to go out last night (she had asked me about keeping him for that over a week ago). Good times! (NOT)

Hi Debbie. Here it is another night of waking up and not sleeping. It’s 3:30 am here. Are you drinking so much water because you are thirsty? I had one pickle yesterday which im very careful not to have due to sodium and fatsecret shows that one pickle had 833 mg of sodium in it. Maybe can help you with your sodium levels? (Im expecting weight to be up this am due to the sodium🙈). What is that black gunk? How old is the grandson? Sounds like you have your hands full right now.

YearofHealth2023, grandson is 7-1/2. No idea what the black gunk is! Thanks for the pickle suggestion! I’m supposed to drink a lot of water the day before surgery, but I don’t want to run the risk that low sodium levels might preclude me from having surgery. Definitely having a pickle on Wednesday! Is your surgery on Wednesday or Friday? I know it’s only one day from mine.

Ugggg another night of 3 hours of sleep. 4 am here. I fly out today to Newport Beach where surgery is happening Wednesday. You really do have your hands full. Hopefully having the daughter there will be a help to you in your recovery. You’re going to be so excited at how much more mobile you are. Do EVERYTHING pt has you do and ask for extra. Sounds like you already are super motivated to me. Because im having a brachiaplasty (in addition to tummy tuck/lower lift) i dont know if i will be able to type but would like to check in on you. If you dont hear from me after your surgery i will still be sending you prayers for a speedy recovery!!! You know wifey is having surgery this week also. We are the triumvirate of fatsecret surgical repair this week😷. God bless you Debbie!
