Ouch.

Was having trouble breathing.  Often just bull through that.  Not last night.  Frothy foam, clogging all.  Spitting some out, I could see it was bloody.  Ah, that.  No, not cancer or all.  When I overwork, and am holding onto too much fluid, my heart can't pump well enough, so dumps extra blood directly into the lungs.  Which... makes a foam as I try to breath through it.

So, tired as I was, I got up, looked around for water pills, what's left of them, and took a small lot of them.  Then peed all night.  Only three liters out, but it's a start.  Gotta wear my compression socks religiously, at least for a bit.  As well, I'll take a few more water pills every day for the next three or four days.

But, driving out that much flood, all at once, hurts the body.  The neck, the feet, the ankles, the legs, all feel like they just had a lot of material ripped out of them.  And, well, they have in a way.  They have dropped in volume by as much as a quarter... this time.  I have seen them shrink my as much as half in limited areas.

My friend from church had asked that I come in for a few hours, for their pancake breakfast.  I just couldn't.  Besides being up half the night, fighting getting a clean breath, and the exhaustion and hurt legs elsewise, I was just able to wake at about the time I should have gone in.  

I hadn't planned to make it, but... if...  I had set the alarm for six.  Who knows, perhaps I would have felt better.  But I... fought... to even wake.  Even now I am only out of bed by the Grace of God.  It's a rough one, rougher than yesterday, if the legs aren't the biggest, or only, problem today.  I'll do what I can.  Honestly, if I get a shower?  And eat something?  That might be it.

Even yesterday, I only ate half the soup and a dose of kefir.  Blood sugar was down to 160 by bedtime.  Couldn't even eat.  Weird.  Bah!  Was hoping it would be lower today, for it.  Higher than the trend, by a lot, at 236.  Very strange.  Do water pills cause in issue?  Blood backing into the lungs?  Very... weird.  No, just had water with the pills, so nothing with carbs after that low read.

Well... on to... something.  It stayed 72/70 upstairs, but is 67/69 down here.  It is 62~63 outside, currently, so I have things open.  Very strange that it stayed so warm upstairs.
