Nathan, 40 lbs, you are a wisp of your former self. Congratulations.

Good to see you keeping the mind active (confusion with meds is always a problem), I do suggest a talk with your Doc, perhaps change out something.

Keep it up.

I'll take some'a that jelly out here dude! Also, I think a money clip is the only way'ta go. I can't stand all that extra bulk in my a$$ pocket causing unnecessary pain in my low back when sitting down... No worries about losing my cash either when it's up front.

 

Oh, the horror!! It's jam, not jelly!

So you will be looking for the skinny bearded guy with jam in his beard selling jam.

 

I've carried my cash in a money clip for decades now.

A few years ago a gave up my fat wallet. Forced myself to put all I REALLY needed into a skinny front pocket wallet Like This that rides in my front pocket with my money clip. No bulk.

Just keep my ID, CC permit, insurance card, debit card and three credit cards (1 business / 2 personal). Plus a folded up blank check and an emergency C note. It was torture making myself give up the other 72 things I had in my old wallet. But I have NEVER needed any of it, once done. I used to carry that in my car for a while, but no longer.

 

Lol... they make several versions of this wallet... I like the simple one that I lined to that has 2 card slots on either side plus a slot in the middle that i use for cash. If you are using this as a wallet organizer, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!

They also have one with a money clip on one side, a version with a see-thru ID window on one side and another with a zipper compartment in the center.

 

I have (2) Coach folding wallets. The quality is excellent.

That's got to be a great feeling!

 

You must be encouraged! That's great!!!!

 

Way to go Nate........

 

Nathan, keep up the good work!

How about a pic of the new you?

 

Glad to hear that you are doing better. Things will work out. Enjoy

 

Gaining and losing weight like that has to be water retention, right?

This all sounds again like a meds issue to me. I swear, I think modern medications sometimes do more harm than good!

I'm off of everything I was taking except an aspirin a day and a vitamin, I felt so much better every time I eliminated a med.... only with Doc's approval, of course......I hate taking pills.

Ask your doc for whatever meds you can stop or reduce.....I'm no doctor and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn express last night, but having BTDT, I'm betting you're over medicated - badly.

 

Coffee and alcohol are diuretics and are much easier to take than a pill.

 

Ask if you can see another doctor since this one has his head up his ass.

My mother had this exact problem because her body could not get fluid out of her body when she sat in chair for hours at a time with her feet down on the floor.

The solution is get up and walk along with putting your feet up when you are sitting down. Never sit with you feet down on the floor, always put them up.

With your heart issue your worst enemy is gravity in relation to water retention.

 

P.S. Lasix's should be taken in the morning not night time.

You not going to move water out of you body all night while you lay asleep in bed...... unless you like getting up to pee every hour.

 

^^^ thanks for backing me up doc.

My mother had CHF for a long time before it took her from us a few years ago. I was her primary at home caregiver and took her to all her appointments. I learned all about her meds and Lasix and when she should and should not take them. She had to take a lot of them because she retained A LOT of water in her calfs and ankles to other point they opened and seeped water. I had to have this had to be addressed by taking her the hospital wound center to have her legs wrapped weekly.
