Good Morning Everyone. Thought I would check in on this forum today as I need to get started losing weight again. I picked my hubby up from dialysis last night and while I was waiting I stepped on the scale. UGH ! why I did that I have no idea as it showed me I had gained more weight. Boo Hoo :'( I am up to 276.1 more than I have weighed in 2 years.. And to think I was at 261 not long ago. Which was too much but I was losing. It must be because I have been under a lot of stress the last month. My hubby went to the hospital as he had been sick for 2 weeks and he feel out Sunday and was confused so called EM squad and got him to the hospital. He had phenumonia and his potassium level was really high and his heart was in defib. They said his heart was only working at 25% so they ended up putting a pacemaker defibulater in on a Thursday and then sent him home Friday. Well he started sweeling real bad and didn't feel right so Sunday he was back in the hospital with his kidneys working at 30% . They tried to get the fluid off as he was so swollen everywhere , he couldn't walk. Then they put him on dialysis in the hospital to get the fluid off as they said his kidneys failed due to the dye they used when the pacemaker was put in. He was in for 2 weeks that time. He is home now( I didn't want him in a rehab center and he didn't want to go) but I am having to be his caregiver now and take him to dialysis 3 nights a week. Been staying with him at the hospital for 3 weeks sleeping in a chair now here at home I seep on the sofa as we have a hospital bed for him in our living room. And I really am exhausted but for some odd reason I still am eating anything and everything so thats not stopping me. Haven't gotten a chance to go to the workout center I belong to so I can exercise. The doctor said the dialysis treatment might be temporary and his kidneys will start working again. I sure pray so. As I want life to be normal again. Sorry to be venting but my situation I believe may have a lot to do with my gaining weight and not even trying to diet.
So here I am trying to start somewhere and get myself back on track and lose lose lose my excess weight. I sure hope you all can help me.
Hugs, Nan
