Now that is a nap!

I didn't go in until 14:00 and small change.  But I went out immediately.  I woke a few times.  I remember the alarm, but not when it happened.  Just, later, I realized it had gone off if I don't remember anything else about it.  At about ten, I started waking in some way that would have made it possible to get up... or for a while?  I really pushed the last week to five days.

Somewhere in there I had a terrible bloody nose.  Both nostrils, and it was just flowing out.  I clogged them and did the only thing I could do after... went back to sleep.  That must have been earlier in the night, say 20:00~21:00?  I can't be sure, and if I looked at the time... which I probably did, with the flashlight on and having to find tissue with which to clot the nostrils.  I don't remember the time, or anything other than it was dark outside.  Which... has been the majority of the time of sleeping.

It was about 03:30 when I finally started getting up.  I had to go, but the pee jug was questionably full.  And it was time anyway.  I am draining well, without the pills.  I keep meaning to start them, but then...  Hmm, with things not set, it will be a while before the hearing.  And I am doing better.  Might have to try to add medicine in.  Staring with everything that doesn't give any problem, for a week, then right to full strength on the other stuff the next week.  It seems, at this point, to take me down for a couple of weeks.  Though, maybe, at this level of function, it might just mean light duty.  And light duty hasn't been too bad lately.

Never sure if the bloody nose is finished, I pulled the clots, and... nothing.  Blood everywhere.  That stuff was just about to flood my area.  I washed it, a bit roughly, so as to start it flowing if it was a weak closure.  Nope, seems pretty closed, if being up and about might itself restart it.  By the looks of things, the clots shut the bleeding down quickly.  There wasn't a lot of buildup, just dry blood around the nostrils and a little ways in.  Very odd.

A minor set of aches, most likely from an extended sleep.  I will take a few pain pills right away.  I had some of the vinegar and lemon tart juice, to clear some of the dry throat caused by the plugged nose, and am hitting tea right off, as I am thirsty as can be.  That helped, the tea is good, but it will take a while.  I have lost so much fluid in the legs and probably torso recently, even without the water pill, that the skin on my legs hurts.  It's like there is too much skin.  I also seem to be losing weight... girth anyway.  Mostly from the sides.  I don't think that is water loss, either.  The water buildup in the midsection hides really well, and never really shows when it goes.  No... this is keto at work, I do believe.

Why do I retain fluid on keto?  Bad heart.  Untreated currently, due to my inability to manage meds.  The backflow must be immense.  I am drinking a lot less water, a quarter of my highs (usually).  Every once in a while, I break down and drink four gallons in a day, but usually I can keep it to between an half and a whole gallon, or at worst two.  No, this is backflow.  I'll... get on that.

Now, to wake, ease the pain a bit, drink some fluid in, and look around.  Not much to see in a land of desolation.  Still, there are some things still out there.  Thuggery rules, but... often does itself in.

Later.
