akwitham72 72 Posted December 23, 2012 Hi everyone. I made it home last night at 7:00. I saw a doctor this morning and my blood stats have gone up just not well enough. I am still draining too much Fluid so I still have the drain tube in. I go back in on Monday for more blood work. He really wants me to get some Protein going and electrolyets. He gave me a prescrition for low potassium as well. I will come around it is just going to take some time. It is Unjury chicken Soup and Vitamin Water with clear Protein Powder in it for me. Will keep you updated. Angie 1 LindaS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akwitham72 72 Posted December 31, 2012 I got the drain tube out this afternoon. I am so happy to be free of that thing. I can now sleep in my bed and not the couch. It was still over 40ml so I am a bit worried about what happens to all the Fluid that isn't getting to drain out. I asked the doctor and he said oh if you start to bloat up they will just cut you open and stick it back in. NICE! Anyway I am feeling good and happy to be able to just focus on my diet and keeping up with my Protein and fluids. Thank you all again for the support you all ROCK.
