I'm at the ER, weighed myself before bed and have gained almost three pounds since this morning.
I've felt less comfortable today compared to yesterday, really unable to find a position that allowed me to rest or sit comfortably.
They've taken X-rays,drawn blood and so now I wait..

Update.
I get to go home!!!
All my blood work and X-rays came back looking good so the gave me two shots of 20mg Lasix and will send in a script for more. Barnes Jewish Said they would call me in the morning so all in all about as wonderful a result as I could have asked.
My nurses name was Hope. I swear there is something spiritual at work through all of this
