One of the doctors stopped in this morning. He said my serum creatinine was back down to normal levels. It was down to 1.3, which is good. 1.5 is the upper limit. That means they will take me off the saline drip. That will free up one-half my body for movement.
The chemo whacks my renal function. I’m going to half to be more careful in the future. When I get my chemo, I need to be careful to up my fluid intake by a lot. He said probably by at least as extra quart of water per day.
While here they’ve introduced me to something called Enlive!. It’s a nutritional drink sort of like Ensure and Boost. Except it is clear and doesn’t have that chalky flavor. It comes in two flavors, apple and peach. Both seem to be tasty flavors. I think I’ll get some and keep it on hand.

Are they still considering surgery?
They've always said that everyone is supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day. I've never been able to do that, although lately, after the pre-diabetes diagnosis, I've been drinking a lot more water.
I've heard of Boost and Ensure. Both are supposed to be very good for you and will keep your vitamin level up.
