jenneliza 257 Posted July 14, 2012 What I would give for some iv fluids right now! Were you having trouble keeping things down or just not taking enough in? Hope you get better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dstollery 290 Posted July 14, 2012 There are several ways of telling if your dehydrated. Fatigue, dizziness, confusion. The big way to tell is something called skin tenting. This is when u pinch skin say on the back of your hand and observe for the skin to stay pinched in a tent look. 1 DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks everyone!! I've gotten Iv's all night. My potassium was do low both of my hands turned white and went completely numb. I had to get blood drawn every 2 to 3 hours and I woke up to 3 bags for my iv - more potassium, Magnasium, and minerals. My surgeon will be by to see me today, I feel like I just got detention.
