Yoda's Jedi Journals (aka Yoda's Yammerin's)

[green 6]

Bit of a rough day for Mr Yoda, despite the great beginning with his chocolate shake concoction. He wasn't feeling too well and coincidentally he had an appt with his GP. I asked his GP to take his BP (we have a monitor at home and I had taken it beforehand and had thought it was pretty low). It was also quite low when the doc took it (101/52). So, the doc re-adjusted Mr Yoda's BP meds. A little later on, at home, I took it again (he reallllly wasn't feeling well and also wasn't sipping/eating) and it was down to 90/48. I called his doc to ask when we should start being REALLY concerned and the doc said if it got down to 85 (top number) to take him to the hospital. I just took it a little while ago and it was 98/51....so at least it seems it is on the rise. However, I will keep an eye. He also just got down 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup (which made me happy)....and he MUST be feeling better because after he had the Soup the said "I WANT TOAST!" hehe. Anyways, the doc said for him to just "be still" and not "do" anything.....(as if he needed an excuse!!) LOL.

Watchful Nurse Yoda on the job though.....so no worries!! (no, I'm not really a nurse!).

Wow! That is some kinda low BP! It is positively reptilian.:faint: I hope that Mr. Yoda is feeling better and I am glad that you are taking care of Yoda business, Nurse Yoda. Yer hubby is doing that man-thing, he is losing weight faster than we do.:clap2: Take care.

Wow Mr. Yoda you are rocking. You are almost 1/3 to your goal already.

Sorry to here about the low BP, hopefully you can get it taken care of.

I have to wonder if I am doing this wrong, or is something not right in me?

I am having a hard time with the 1/4 cup of Soup. I am feeling full like all the time, I have to force myself to eat, thinking I won't get it down, but somehow it goes.

Plus I seem to have this feeling in the back of my throat, like there is a hair sitting at the back of my tongue. It would go away, it is not there in the morning, then as soon as I drink my Protien shake, it seems to appear and stays all day. it is worst when I have the full feeling, but I know there is nothing there. Anyone else have this or something simular?

Anyway, off to shower....:clap2: I miss that the most i think...

Okay this is WEIRD! I am not having any trouble drinking, but I have that hair thing in my throat! I thought it was fur because my dog and cat are shedding, but now I am beginning to wonder.....

That is weird! I never had that happen to me. You both seem to be doing a fine job of losing, though. Congratulations.

I don't have those issues but I think you both should call TLBC. Mr. Yoda maybe you will be one of those people that won't need a fill but I think you are going to need a little more room for some food and especially to keep you BP normal. Be safe and call the office for advise.

That furry feeling sounds weird...not happened to me yet. I did have trouble though the first 2 weeks after surgery. All I could get down was Water. The Doc said to lay off everything except water because I had a lot of pain anytime I would try anything else. He said that the stomach can swell and cause a lot of restriction. He said that it would subside 2 weeks post surgery and it did. So hang in there, give it a little bit of time and you should feel better soon.

We actually went to a restaurant yesterday after a movie. it was nice to be somewhere other than home for a meal. I had a cream of broc Soup and Mrs Yoda got some ZZA and we had a good time chatting and munching. She also had it for supper later, but I finished my soup and about a 1/4 glass of Water.< /p>

No ill effect, cept when we got there I was incredibly hot, to the point of being clammy a few minutes there, but after that everything was great. only another week till I can whip up some food... Can pizza be pureed? hehehe

Anyway just thought I would share that with eveyone...

That sounds nice Mr. Y - seems like you are feeling better. What movie do you guys see?

[Yoda 0]

We saw "Fracture" (Anthony Hopkins/Ryan Gosling....mmmmmmmm yummy!)....It was a very good movie....!

[Donna D 1]

How is your BP now? You must have some good restriction. Maybe you won't even need a fill. I find that during the day I watch the amount I eat but by dinner I sure can put down more than I should. I stop but I am definately not full.

[susansilver 0]

I am sure I do not have any restriction. I even took my meds whole this morning.

[loriely 0]

Mr.Yoda ask Yoda about Mr Loriely's pureed pizza.lol. How are you feeling now.

[Mr. Yoda 0]

She already told me about it, that is why I posed the question... hehehe

My BP is ranging from 110/55 to 126/65 (mean adverages) so I haven't restarted my BP meds yet. I am a little scared about going so low again, so if my BP gets over 130/anything (I take it every couple to four hours) I will start the meds again, if it doesn't get over (Even when I return to work) I will see the doc about cutting them down to out all together.

Mrs. Yoda took the steri-strips off tonight, Not bad, LOTS of glue, little dried blood (Mrs. Y had a little trouble with that...she almost :eek: )But she held up and got them off and cleaned me up somewhat. Now I think I'll wear a T-shirt under everything for a little while, hygene and all.

Had a nice cream of chicken Soup tonight (even had a couple Chunks of chicken I got to chew... it was heavenly) I am getting tired of the Soup all the time tho... I picked up some oddball ones, red pepper, butternut squash, MMmmMmm, and a black bean one... will have to give them a try soon, still have till Saturday on these things... :bored

Off to Xbox for a bit...(my treat for being a good boy!!!)
