I was able to bring Pop home on the 17th before all the snow fell. I was able to get his medicine and get home. We went to bed and I woke up at 2:30 am doing what you do when you have the stomach flu. I was not anything pretty let me tell you.
I decided to come sleep on the couch and guess what Pop had the flu to.
We spent all of Wednesday sleeping on and off. In the morning I was lucky enough to get ahold of a Group Health nurse to talk about Pops medicine cause he lost almost 10lb of water weight in 1 day and that is dangerous for someone who has BP up and down like Pop. I always joke he is a delicate flower and he really is. Everything is a balance between what he puts in his mouth and how his medicine works.
Most of the time it is like having a tiger by the tail, he feels good and wants to eat and do everything like normal, but his body sais no by having his BP act crazy.
It is a good thing I have been at this for a while and have some good sense.
I am feeling better, that flu was one of the worst I have had in probably 15 years. I hope I don’t get anything like that again.
