Inadvertently took some meds
too late last night, so, sleep was not for me. I did get to lie down for a few
– Dearest Son took pity on me and cancelled Game Day – and woke up an hour
later with screaming leg cramps. They raged in my right calf for twenty
minutes, just as one faded, another started, and all I could do was ride the
tides. Stretching or contracting didn’t help, neither did raising or lowering
the leg. Touching it was out of the question. It was fifteen minutes after that
before I could stand. Evidently my potassium’s low again, or my delayed
furosemide drained it, either way, the cramps have never been this bad or
lengthy before. Maybe I should start keeping some Gatorade and a potato on my
nightstand. . .
Made sure to drink plenty of
water and replenished my potassium and calcium. But everything I had planned
for today has been postponed. I mostly just relaxed and made sure my meds were
back on schedule. Can’t put m’self through that again !
Ordered the Dragon boots for
the Star Wars guys. They’re due to
arrive next Friday, but we’ll see. Let’cha know if they fit !
I hope you're doing better this sounds both painful and scary.Big hug.
