@jakedduck1 And further, to complete my long-winded response, Jake, I'd had no less than THREE preps in as many days for a colonoscopy/CT Colonography, with no food all week, severe diarrhea, etc. Lost all my electrolytes, WBC, Neutrophils crashed, etc., and now it's taking so long to recuperate. The first prep was at home. Ambulance, etc.
2nd at hospital with a prep error so had to have a third. Trying to get back to food tolerance, stamina, etc. And that's why I'm blacking out these days! XOXO 😘

It sounds like you are having to pull yourself out of some very difficult times. Hard to keep some stamina and get back to a good nutrition point as well. Go slow, perhaps eating small amounts of food or even broth more frequently could help.
Keep reaching out, we are here.

@artist01 My goodness, Laurie! No walking for you, lil missy until you, literally, get back on your feet! I’m so sorry to hear about all these health issues!! It will take a while to get your body back to normal for sure! Any time our intestines get wonky and our electrolytes, blood numbers take a dive it is a slow progression back to feeling 99%.
Activia yogurt with a little ground flax is good for getting the innards replaced with good bacteria and easy fiber. There are probiotic supplements but sometimes they’re a bit harsh when first starting to get the tummy under control.
Sending oodles of positive thoughts your way! Stay vertical! Lori.
