Sweet to have loved ones near. Daughter ran to the store for some supplies for us yesterday and LIL MISS dropped off a German Chocolate Cake. Delicious. My appetite is coming back.

It's been years since I fixed a German Chocolate Cake from scratch. Years. One of my Husband's all time favorites. I sure enjoyed the cake to the fullest.
Drinking lots of fluids always. I don't know if having my feet elevated so much has anything to do with the swelling in my feet, and ankles, but it has disappeared and my feet are back to normal size. My blood pressure has lowered and I stopped taking my water pill a week ago.
I was wondering if the HCTZ pill was contributing to the water retention in the first place as it would be causing a electrolyte deficit. hum. I will keep an eye on it anyhow. With diuretics it's common that electrolytes wash out of your system. The electrolyte imbalance can cause high blood pressure and water retention. Vicious circle. If a magnesium and potassium deficit is checked for in the first place before sticking someone on a water pill because of water retention, addressing the deficit before a water pill is taken might balance out what needs balanced and not have a problem. No water pill needed.
When the kidney is unhappy because the water isn't getting into cells, retention takes place. Magnesium helps the water to get into the cells making the kidney happier. Water retention shouldn't last.
I'm drinking water to stay hydrated and decided to take a little Celtic salt that contains 82 minerals in it. Small amount of salt. Taking potassium and magnesium. A deficit of magnesium causes water retention and a deficit of potassium causes high blood pressure. There is truth that having nutritional deficits creates health issues.
One prescribed pill can cause chaos and havoc in the body when all the body really needs is magnesium and potassium.
Sunday truly was a day of rest for me. I had a long, uninterrupted afternoon nap. How I needed it. More of the same this week. Determined to get well.
MONDAY HAS ARRIVED. I am moving slow with being alright about it. Laundry each day this week. I'll continue to spot clean as I go. Eat nutritionally dense foods and drink Spring water. Take my supplements and REST. Destress and rest. Declutter and rest.
I visited with my Husband and said to start pulling out of the closet clothing he no longer wants. I'll do the same. Donation box by the front door.
My Hunny did water the bushes in the front flowerbed and the porch plants. He's been picking our patio tomatoes. I've got to make something from these beauties so they don't go to waste.
We watched a 3 hour cowboy movie. It helped to take our minds off of being sick. 🤠🤠🤠🐎🤠🐴🤠🤠🤠
I can't wait until I am over this cough and have regained energy. Amen. I continue to daydream and imagine what should be done with the interior of the COTTAGE.
