Part of my mother's cancer/chemo struggle right now is with dehydration...she went from 111 to 106 this morning...in part because the TPN pump didn't flow last night...and in part because she is resisting drinking or eating.
Even when she was younger and healthier, she never really drank water.
So...I know this is the healthy weight loss thread and not the cancer thread...but please...do yourselves a favor and drink your water....every day...a few glasses. It's amazing what a difference it makes.
The nurse is here this morning, trying to do a blood draw on her. Halfway through, the flow simply stopped. He had to switch arms to fill one vial. Her blood pressure is down....she aches all over. It's dehydration....just the lack of fluid to keep things working as they should.
Please....drink your water. Chug it if you don't like it. But drink it.
