doing better
Jul. 3rd, 2016 06:28 pmI have had two visits from Home Health so far, one Tuesday, one Friday. Next visit will be Tuesday. I have been making satisfactory progress according to them.
I have 7 prescriptions that I have to take daily, plus 81mg aspirin, plus a pain killer to be taken as needed. 5 of the scripts are 1X per day, one 2X per day, and one at bedtime. As of Friday, one of the daily pills is to be cut in half. I've got a weekly pill planner, with 2 slots for each day.
Has anyone here ever had to take half a pill? Is it better to cut them all at once, and put each half in its day, or should I cut one every other day. (will be checking with pharmacist.)
Walking is up to ~12 minutes 2X per day, plus walking around the house. (walking is supposed to have started @ 5 minutes 2X per day, increasing 1 minute per day. I've been pushing that a bit.)
The new thing I gotta pay attention to is eating. I've been using MyFitnessPall to track my food for several months, trying to lose weight. for awhile, I had gotten down below 230, though the day of the surgery, I had gotten up to 235. This morning, I was at 218. 0.o
I had > 700 calories left yesterday.
Not getting all that hungry, which is a side effect of some of the drugs (or make food taste odd.)
Not needed the pain killer that much.
