HEALTH UPDATE, A MIXED BAG
I became disoriented at Bingo during the game known as double bingo. Block of nine such as double bingo requires you mark all numbers. In my mind I was waiting on one number to win block of 9. It was a good thing they did not call the number because we were playing double bingo. When someone won and I realized what happened I saw I needed O 61 to win double bingo.
I am certain the brain valve has moved again. My gait is all off, and I have the intense headaches again. I have been assured the replacement value will not have any of these problems.
I am ready for the surgery.
On balance the prostate surgery went well. I discussed the pain with my doctor, and he assured me in the future I will be fully sedated. During the prostate surgery he diagnosed a problem with the urethra and bladder neck. Both will be repaired in March.
We all get old, but not everyone gets the diagnosis they need.
My diabetes seems to be getting better. I know the hypothalamic dysfunction and normal pressure hydrocephalus can cause chronic dehydration.
To compound everything, I developed either a viral or bacterial infection in my colon. I lost 16 pounds in water and mass. For the last three days I did not eat. We are still waiting on the lab. I was put on a three-day antibiotic which seems to have helped. I discovered Electrolit and it is the best. My body shut down on the discharge of any fluid to allow for homeostasis to work. I am up 11-pounds in fluid.
The Electrolit allowed me to reduce my insulin. This is good.
