Almost there! I slipped again yesterday. Scott had taken the kids to Troy while I was at an Archery Recertification class. I then met him to pick up the kids so he could go game with the boys. Well, he had purchased a bucket of KFC in Troy and brought most of it home for leftovers for the kids. Oh, man. Lizzie was laughing at me because I was moaning as I ate a piece. It was amazing!!! I had two pieces. Including skin and coating. But, what do you do? I stepped up the fluid intake after that. I had 96 ounces by the end of the day.
Today I had to start taking acetylcysteine every 12 hours. It is to protect my kidneys during the vena cava filter placement tomorrow. They use a dye that can hurt the kidneys. The stuff is nasty!!! Smells VERY STRONGLY of rotten eggs. Worse than rotten eggs!!! Taste isn't horrible, if you can get over the smell. So, I take it really fast and chase it with a cold drink. Of Crystal Light. Then it makes me feel funny.
I am just looking forward to the next step in the process. I am pretty sure I have all my ducks in a row. Kids are taken care of when needed. Scott has the schedule. We're all good! I almost wish I could just stay at the hospital tomorrow so I wouldn't have to deal with everything else in between!! It's a lot easier when they control everything. Oh, well. I guess that's the issue. I have to be in control.
