At approximately 4am last night I received 10 mg of lasix, the doctors were worried because I literally peed twice yesterday and started just blowing up with fluid, my arms, legs, face - turned into gigantic basketballs.
From the lowest dose of lasix possible to administer, that is supposed to be effective a mere few hours, I have now urinated 8,800 mLs in the past 24 hours and I'm still going strong. Honestly honestly not exageratting these numbers, the nurses and I just stood around and marvelled over them with me.
thats almost *TEN* liters of water I was holding onto and its not even the end.
p.s. now i do really hope I'm going home. didn't make it today =(
the nitty gritty

- I love eating grapenuts for breakfast, I like them in my yogurt for lunch and I put them on my ice cream. When I am falling asleep at night I can't wait to get up and eat them again. The box keeps telling me I should eat them warm. The box knows little about the delights of crunching grapenuts like a farm animal.

Agh! How I hated those days! In my 20s I was in and out and in and out and in and out etc etc etc... and the pain truly is unbearable. Then, in my late 20s, all of the hospitalizations suddenly stopped. But I feel for you, babe. It's total sucky suckdom. Just stay stoned.
Something occurred to me: Wouldn't it be ironic if the reason you're suddenly getting so sick is because there's something you're working on in the lab that's exacerbating things?
Congratulations on peeing! That's a good thing, right?
