My sodium level was 119 on Friday, 121 yesterday, and 123 today. Normal is 135. The doctor gave me the choice to come home, but for some reason, I wasn't sure. I sorta feel like staying where people can take care of me.
I don't think I can monitor my fluid intake at home like they do here. I am limited to two liters of fluids each day. I know I drink more than that when home. I also feel like I csn get stronger here.
The doctor gave me the choice to stay or go. I guess since I am waffling, I will stay another night.
It will also give another day for the antibiotics to work on the UTI. I had more urinary bleeding last night so I would like that to be better before I go home.
I guess it feels right. So while the sodium is going up, it isn't up enough. I'll stay another night.
Also, if truth be told, I feel like I can leave my worries behind.

I'm sorry you've been feeling so bad. Sounds like a good idea to stay another night in the hospital. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Yes, stay where others can take care of you and you can rest leave those worries behind. Thinking of you every day. xo
