Tom's BP went up to 190 today. They finally got it down to 160. They are still giving him Potassium. He didn't get to come home. He drinks Jack Daniels and I worry about him going into DTs. But I know he has told them. I am thinking maybe his BP going up was due to him not drinking anything since Monday night.
Anyway, I am maintaining. Everything tastes so Salty. I went to McD's and got a quarter pound meal. The Fries tasted fine..weren't salty tasting. But the Burger was so Salty, I could barely stand to eat it, but knew I had to eat it as it is all I had to eat since Breakfast. My mouth is so dry, and even my nostrils are dry. Even if I don't breathe through my mouth my mouth is still dry. So weird. Usually when I have bronchitis my sinuses are working overtime. Not coughing much at all. No fever at all. Just very unusual. But it has been over a year since I had bronchitis. I use to get it twice a year sometimes three. I think I will call the Insurance Nurse tomorrow, and see what she thinks about all of this.
Went to Dollar General and bought a couple of Michalena meals for tomorrow. Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli.

At the moment, we are both feeling the same way. I have a dry cough and my throat is dry as well. Drinking water slowly is what I'm doing. Right now, I'm not feeling well, and I'm currently on my first day of my period which makes me even more sick. Hope we both get better soon.

I'm sorry to hear about Tom's BP and that you are still not well. Try and get some rest and stay hydrated!! I hope you both feel better soon.
