Re: Re:drinking liquids

I WAS REFERRING TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE EXTREME EDEMA AND WHAT THE

PRECAUTIONS ARE TO DEAL WITH IT. I ALSO MENTIONED THAT REFERRING TO YOUR

PHYSICIAN AS I HAVE WAS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA AS WE ALL REACT DIFFERENTLY. I

WAS USING MY BROTHER AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF PROPER CARE IS NOT

TAKEN. I ALSO SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED THAT HE HAD DEVELOPED SEVERE CYSTITUS,

ALTHOUGH I DID SAY HE WAS WAITING FOR A LIVER TRANSPLANT I THINK IN A

PREVIOUS POST. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION ON THAT FRONT. IT STILL REMAINS

THAT WHAT I SAID WAS TRUE ABOUT EDEMA.

AS FOR ANY OPERATION DRINKING WATER A MUCH A POSSIBLE HELPS GET RID OF ALL

THE TOXINS FASTER AND TO REHYDRATE YOURSELF.

THIS WAS MY GP WHO GAVE ME THE HEADS UP ON EDEMA AND WATER AFTER I RELATED

TO HIM WHAT THE HOSPITAL DR.'S HAD SAID TO BOB.

I HOPE THIS CLARIFIES MY COMMENTS.

Love and Hugs to all

we

all have different needs. In general though this is what I have experienced

both first hand and with my brother, mind you niether of us was scheduled

for surgery. In my brothers case, surgery would have be postponed until that

extreme edema was stable. I asked my doctor about the less liquid and he

agreed that limiting my intake would be good, ( re >>

You are not discussing your DS surgery are you? You are not referring to

something your DS surgeon said, are you?

Because everyone else has said walk walk sip sip right after surgery and you

must get enough WATER to stop from getting dehydrated.

If you are talking about information given for something else, this needs to

be clarified so new people on the list don't get confused.

Thanks,
