Yesterday I went to get water and all three of the machines at my condo were broken. After trudging through the heat of the day for nothing, I reported this to the management office where they do not speak English. No matter how much I pointed and said, "broken, broken, broken", they still looked at me like I was an alien.
Finally I pulled out a water bottle to show then, and then they figured out what I was trying to say. It turns out the Malay/English word for "water machine" is "vending." Good to know for future.
So today, I had almost no water until just a few hours ago. As mentioned in my last update, my legs are still leaking fluid like sieves, I am still blown up like a balloon, and I was in and out of the bathroom, laundry and bed continually, while waiting for night to fall.
I have been holding up my left arm over my head as much as possible, and it seems I have dropped that swelling by maybe one-third. so I will keep going with that. Apparently I can sleep with my arm in the air, lol.
Fortunately the first machine I went to at dusk was working and now I have already finished two of the four bottles I bought. Hopefully this problem will not recur and I can keep trying to heal. Dehydration is not helpful at this time. As soon as I wake up again, I will go for more water.
I have so many comments to reply to and so much help has come in from so many of you fellow STEEMers. I assure you I am not ignoring you and will now try to sleep for more than 30 minutes and get up with some renewed vigor to work tomorrow.
The best news is that I seem to be able to walk better and faster even under such stress as I was feeling today. I am so hopeful that if I keep going with the meds, rest, and fluids I will finally be on the mend. The date for my visa trip is either Feb 5 or 6 now and I need to be well enough to make it.
Stay tuned for another post soon, and thank you all for your never-ending support.
