I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but just know it will be harsh. STAY HYDRATED!! Cannot stress this enough. Go in for fluids daily if you need to. Even if it's to the ER. That's what some of our friends have done lately.
Kevin and I had a bp kit at home. If his bp went below 108/60, we went for fluids. It's an easy way to tell if you're getting dehydrated.
You have someone going with you to your appts, right?
WIll be praying Walt. Please continue to reach out to us as we will be watching for updates.
Blessings,
Kathy
