That sounds ghastly, Cassa.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

yow, that sounds horrible. At least you've been diagnosed and treated. Hope you get well soon, but take things easy.

I have replied on the above thread.

[cassa333]

On the mend and milking it for all I can get

Hears an interesting one if anyone can explain for me.

I went into hospital last Sunday having eaten last Sat afternoon. I went in at 66kg

after seven days in hospital I had eaten a grand total of (all hospital food) two jellys, one cup of bovril and half an inch of leek and potato soup.

I spent the vast majority of the time either in bed or sitting in the chair so not much on the aerobics front lol

Why when I left yesterday was I 68kg?

[Sqad]

Yes.......you were discharged heavier than you weight on admission because in that week you were given more calories than you used, being inactive for a week.

The operation that you described would involve the intravenous (drip) administration of dextrose saline and it was that which increased your calorie intake and increase in weight.

[cassa333]

Thanks sqab.

It was just so Bizzar lol

I do know they weren't giving me any intraveniois nutrients though because they said they might if I didn't start eating but I suppose there is some in the saline drip?

[Sqad]

Yes, it would be dextrose/saline.
