Last night’s sleep was the highly interrupted variety. I heard Elsa get up and walk out into the living space which is always a sign of trouble. I took her outside all three times. The first time she threw up a little bit and then squatted like she was pooping. I couldn’t actually see anything although I heard some nasty sounding gas going on. The other two times she got up there was no more puking but more phantom pooping with fireworks. Before the first trip I removed the diaper and just counted on my waterproof bedding cover to do the job if needed, which it did.

I’m not sure what brought on the issues although nausea is a side effect of kidney disease as well. It has not been easy to feed her, even on the appetite stimulant. My girlfriend made her some egg whites to add to her dinner last night which is a clean low phosphorus protein. I wouldn’t think it would have caused any GI distress but who knows, that is the only thing different that she ate yesterday.

As you can imagine having my sleep interrupted three times and the subsequent time it takes for me to fall back asleep left me in just a tick above zombie mode this morning. It’s the new reality, I just have to suck it up and manage things as well as I can.
