There are things happening to my kidneys... stage 3 something... my diet has to change.
Doctor and his nurse were shocked by whatever is happening on my chest. Doctor cut into the area with scalpel. Hoping that would help with drainage. I now have a much flat-er red bump with a straight cut thru the center. Not as swollen. Still itches. Hot compresses later (but not too hot). After Library and Grocery.
Right now I am wondering what I can buy with the Friday grocery shopping.... limit or DON'T eat Dairy, Bananas, Potatoes, Yogurt. Drink water but not too much- kidney overload. Signs that stuff is going wrong- swollen ankles (yes) shortness of breath (yes)- itchy dry skin- (yes)---shortness of breath we though was asthma- cognitive issues- we thought was lack of concentrating or listening. It's my kidneys.
Expiration Date- unknown.
Jolly News....I haven't a clue as to what I will be having to eat this week- apples, berries, grapes. A non dairy creamer for my coffee (if I even want coffee)....made out of rice- I think I will skip this and drink tea---I can eat tomatoes, bell peppers and potatoes. Also beans, grains, egg whites, salmon and tuna. Olive oil- NO butter. No animal products (no cheese, cream, butter or eggs). I don't like salmon or tuna.
I can eat vanilla or lemon desserts....absolutely NO chocolate.
The "stay away from list"- includes everything I have been eating for decades. The other list- stuff I have hardly EVER eaten. And really don't want to eat. Beans, nuts, tofu, grains, egg whites, fish. No animal protein. I like baked beans....pistachios....oatmeal. Not a fan of eggs or fish. Nuts aren't really a meal. I can't eat SOY- actually can't eat it....get all itchy. I'm dressed and ready to visit Library and Grocery Store Haven't eaten anything...
Oatmeal....good thing I like it.
