Stole my neighbors salt

[del112 62]

Pre-op, I cooked without salt, because that's how I was raised in that my mom is super health conscious. But since surgery, I require salt. Returned to work a week ago; I live and work on the same campus. Decided I need to buy salt but was too tired after my walk to go get it so I stole that of my neighbor . She returned from leave today and I confessed. She smiled and looked at me strangely . She doesn't know I had the surgery and I have always given her grief about her salt intake.

I had issues with low blood pressure post-op and my doctor told me to "liberally increase my intake of salt". I actually have that written out in my patient plan! I haven't really been able to do it. I still don't ADD salt to things. I just don't worry about the sodium content of what I'm eating anymore. Blood pressure is still on the low side for me, but not medically considered "low". Seem to hang our right around 95/65 now.

I too always kept an eye on my salt intake. After surgery I don't worry about it and my blood pressure has gone down dramatically.

My blood pressure is much better since surgery, though it really wasn't bad to begin with. It's my tastebuds perhaps that are out of whack
