Gurgle gurgle, roil and burble

Digestive tract is still a train wreck. As far as I can tell, the stone has been passed. But the digestive tract is not moving and exiting the toxic waste through the liver and kidneys, which have been feeling it, especially where the stone formed and was dislodged. A minor fever plagued me for days, but it seems to have passed as well. I hope it stays gone.


I’m eating lightly, taking on nutrition without adding a lot of bulk. Dealing with the digestive toxins has been the main issue of the past few days. I have considered an oral sea salt flush, but I haven’t yet out of caution for the kidney and fever.


Back on meds, except for the doxazosin, its one dose giving me a rather intense heartbeat. BP is high, but all considered, it’s to be expected.


The new water heater is night and day compared to the old one. Enough hot water to fill the tub without a dip in temperature and plenty left for the rinse and a load of laundry immediately afterward. I am very pleased with it. I was out of pocket for it, but worth it. The tub fills in less than half the time, now that all that scaled up plumbing was replaced, and the hot water is much cleaner. That has been a happy aspect of the last week.


Only thing in the fridge is rice. I’m not thawing anything until I get a better handle on the toxic slush inside.


Still haven’t left the property. Still haven’t spent any money this month except for bills and plumbing. Mad money will come late this month when I am fit to move around.
