Here I am in the hospital; just woke up from a nap and learned I’ll be having spaghetti for lunch. My friend, Lance, loaned me his laptop, so I’m able to entertain myself with music and internet. I think I’ll watch some episodes of Saturday Night Live on hulu.com later.
Lance sent me a link to a few articles about sugar and cancer today. My mother has been telling me lately, “Remember- sugar feeds cancer.” When I told Lance this he looked into it and found this article from menstuff.org on cancer and sugar. Also, this from Wellness Directory of Minnesota- Cancer Loves Sugar.
I was going to have someone bring me a large chocolate milkshake today, but I guess I’ll go without. Buster is big enough!
So, I’m doing well after my kidney procedure yesterday. Peeing has been painful as hell- especially that last bit, when the bladder gives an extra push. That’s usually when the blood drips out, but I’m told that’s typical for a little while. Also, I have very little bladder control, so I have to be on the toilet (or have the portable urinal in place) within 5-8 seconds of feeling the urge to pee or I just go wherever I happen to be. I learned that the hard way last night when I wet myself good on the way to the bathroom, struggling with my IV stand along the way.
This afternoon I’m having a bone scan done. A technician was already in here earlier to shoot dye into my IV so they could have contrast for the scan. “Drink plenty of fluids,” they say. OK, but damn I hate to pee!
