Awake and doing moderately well.

.
.
All medicine was taken last night.  Including insulin.  I have already taken morning medicine.  Breakfast is 'brewing', I like giving the chia fifteen to twenty minutes to soften.  I am giving it fifteen minutes, then will stir, get a dose of insulin ready, give it five more minutes, that take insulin and food all at once.  Oh, but before all that, electrolytes and water.

I will continue with electrolytes, daily, to the end of the week.  Friday, Sunday... whatever I sense seems to be long enough.  After that, I will take it if feeling dry, or parched... of skin or tongue.  And, perhaps, every few days just in case.  It has helped.  I think it is helping reduce headaches, and severity.  Though that is probably a group of things helping, including lower bp, pulse, and blood sugar control.  Well, and two pillows.

I am going to try to remember to get the other pillow in and through today.  Clean pillows really are wonderful.  They suggest not to wash, but I think they just want you to buy new all the time.  I can't afford good new pillows yearly.  And probably wouldn't if I could, as I think that is a scam.

A warm, good, long sleep.  I am pretty sure I went to bed at about 20:00.  Oh, and I did get the waterers refilled, and chores done.  I did something else.  The only thing I couldn't finish was getting a shower.  Today, I hope.  Pray.  I love showers, when I can stand for them, or even lean against the wall.  Brutal when even taking a shower is a difficult task, and that in the better phase of a downside?  Right.  Brutal.  Still, it's what I have.  I'll... see to it.  Hopefully today.

I woke at 05:55.  I woke several times, earlier, through the night.  But knew not to try to fully wake or get out.  A good, warm, mostly, sleep.  My feet seem odd, a bit numb.  Can't always tell if they are cold or hot.  They are improving.  But getting used to not having so much mass, from excess water, will take a while.  The toenails are really improving though.  Between shedding fluid to having shoes that fit.  Life is much better... just a bit wonky until the new reality is more completely... understood?  Something.

Time to stir breakfast and set up insulin.  Then begin sorting out the day.  Good morning and day.
