When I woke up this morning, my ankles were less swollen than before. I jumped on my scale at home and it said 82.1 kg or 181 pounds. Fitbit also calculated my BMI as 25.3. I also had some slight cramping in my left ankle so maybe I’m getting close to my current “dry” weight.
I still think there is fluid in my lungs since breathing is not as easy as before but it’s definitely better. Maybe that extra 0.5 kg of fluids they removed during dialysis yesterday helped. I did sit for about an hour and a half this morning and I can feel fluid accumulating in my ankles again. I probably still need to raise my feet whenever possible. This was never a problem previously when I still urinated about 1.5 L per day. Fluid control sucks.

Hmm, so the scales is a bit inaccurate. I just weighed myself again and it now says 82.6 kg. I don’t believe I ate 0.5 kg of stuff for breakfast so the scale is probably off by a bit each time I use it. Still, since I’ve been using the same scale for years, the decrease in weight over time is probably right.
