Thanks to all those water pills, Tom's health is returning. The oxygen need is toning down, the weight is "running" off of him, and he's feeling much better. Besides trips to the deck to bask in the sunshine, Tom is walking short jaunts, yesterday making it as far as the Cox's house down the street. To many of you who know our neighborhood, that's Joe's house, (Joe the Brittany Spaniel) and also Angelo's second home.
Tom is down 33 pounds since leaving the hospital on 9/10. He had gained 25 pounds of water while hospitalized so as of this morning, he has a net loss of 8 pounds.
The iron pills 3 times a day have returned the color to his cheeks and he looks like Tom again! When he first gets up in the am, he's ready to take on the world. After 2-3 hours of being up, having breakfast, and taking 10 pills plus insulin, he's wasted and back to bed. The anemia should be lifting after 5 days of iron sulfate, 3 times a day.
More soon......
