Feeling a bit better

Alight, so dehydration it is. I started to drink only electrolyte water and Hydralyte yesterday, and I already feel much better. I have been able to retain my fluid intake significantly more than just 2 days before. I know that the difference is obvious as I was drinking in excess of a gallon of liquid daily and was only passing urine twice daily. I am now going 4+ times per day. What a difference some e-lytes can make. Funny how I can be on the internet talking about urine output. But I suppose with all I've been through the last 6 years, modesty and tact have manage to elude me :)
I feel very fortunate to have the support of my friends and family. I have been blessed with many home-cooked meals, flowers, cards, emails, and phone calls. If not for the love of my family and friends, I'm not sure I'd have the strength to look ahead towards better times. I am looking forward to healing and spending the holiday season with all my loved ones.
I even received an email from a dear friend who is all the way in the Czech Republic. She is living there with her young son and husband, who is there on an art/glass making scholarship.
