ravena_kadeYesterday Dad had what was supposed to be a check up at the heart clinic. It ended up being a 4 hour stay as they gave him a dose of Lasix into his blood stream. He was carrying fluid. They had to watch him to make sure his BP didnt drop through the floor.
Today was a family gathering at the cousins house and all there was to eat was pizza and meatballs from a fast food place. OI.
There is no way for me r the medical people to tell if he is keeping fluid because his chronic heart failure is more chronic or if its because of sodium in the food he eats on the weekends. It is really frustrating for me.

My sister is home with her SO. they want to have plans every day that involve hours in the car...but driving exhausts them. I hesitate to make plans since I cannot help with the driving.
Tomorrow we head north. Going to Halibut park in Rockport. I bet we get there a there is napping in the car.
Tuesday is a whale watch in Gloucester They want to be on the 8 AM one, but we would have to leave here at 6 AM. I doubt that is going tp happen.
I asked that we head to the sea for my Birthday on Wednesday. Since the North shore beaches all require passes to park and it is Green Head season (huge biting flies) I asked if the cape was too far. There is a beach in Barnstable that has scallop shells and welk shells. it should be just a 1.5 hour drive.
Thursday they want to go to the mounting of New Hampshire... thats a 3 hour ride. We shall see.
Friday Dad has another Doctor's appointment then we head up to Glouchester to meet up with the cousins. I want to check out where they are staying as I'd like a place to go for a weekend in the fall to relax, but yet be close enough to get home if something is wrong.
Monday I wanted a free day... I am still run down and stressed.... but they dont seem to want that...but yet they will be tired and cranky if they dont take a rest day.
