Mom’s feet and legs are swelling and she is retaining water.
Therefore, Mom is on a low sodium diets. It is difficult to find any foods that
do not have salt in them. Some canned soups are “low sodium” soups. The problem
is that most of the canned goods in my cupboard have sodium.
Until recently, Mom could not take a “water pill” because
her blood pressure was not stable. I talked to the nurse today and Mom blood
pressure is now stable. The doctor prescribed a diuretic and potassium tablets.
As soon as someone delivers the meds, I will begin giving them to Mom. I guess
evening would be the best time to give her the new meds. Mom seems more willing
to take her meds in the evening then in the morning.
