Saturday – working on hydration

Saturday was pretty normal for the most part. Since my assumption at this point is that the clot may have been a result of inadequate hydration along with the Avastin, i focused on trying to make sure that I drank at least 3 quarts of fluid during the day.  This it turns out is harder than one would think since if I drink it too fast it pretty much just ends up in the pouch.  My challenge going forward then is to figure out a way to drink that amount of liquids and does not just render my output all liquid.  The liquid output puts more stress on the barrier seal and of course requires me to wake up about every other hour to drain since it fills the pouch much faster.

Other than that, I feel mostly fine. The left leg is still sore, but no worse than previously.

  1. Hi Rich,

    Bummer to hear about your rough week. Despite the sucky side effects though, it sounds like your improving.

    Mark would like to see you but is afraid of disturbing you. He just sits around the house and bugs me. (I hate having him retired!)

    Hope things go well for you this week! ..and the week after… and so on.

    Lotsa love,
