I have been very honest with the docs. I told them I drank an average of 1.5 glasses of wine a night and every now and then two but that I also didn't have any wine some nights. I told them about the smoke inhalation four years ago, but you know ER docs, they just want to get your stabilized and move on to the next patient. We'll see what happens. Just talked to a friend and she wondered if my sodium and electrolytes got out of whack in all this. A couple weeks ago I felt like I was going to die I felt so badly and took a cab to the ER where they kept me in the hospital overnight because my sodium was so low (127 when normal is at least 136). They told me to pick up some Gatorade when they released me. It's a puzzle--a maze, trying to get through this. One thing leads to another and you get locked in this vortex of health problems that relate to each other and there seems to be no way out to get back to your former self. We all keep trying though.
