Thanks, everyone. I am still feeling uncomfortable this morning: a bit light headed and generally week. I think I'll have to try taking one of the diuretics on a "normal" day, and see how I feel: if I feel like crap, I may not be able to take this one, even if I'm having a serious problem with edima. I'm hoping that will go away as I lose weight. I will also make sure to take extra minerals. (DH wonders if there's a low-carb version of Gateraide available? I hate the stuff -- I'd rather take some pills and extra water!)
I was drinking water as much as I could while I walked, but since I was also pushing a cart and watching several children -- young enough so I had to hold hands -- it was harder. I'm going to have to do the same thing next Sunday, at the same time (between 11:00 and 12:00), exactly the same route, but I'm going to try to plan different adults to maybe see if there's a way to split it up, and certainly eat a better breakfast and see if I can find time this week to buy one of those shoulder-holster thingies to carry my water bottle, to make it more accessible while I walk. I'll also wear lighter weight clothes, even if it means I have to wear the sort of almost-professional stuff I don't usually wear to church. This Sunday, I had the option of going straight home as soon as I felt strong enough to drive and taking a nap (and having DH feed me . . .) Next Sunday, I won't have that option: I will have one meeting from 1 to 4, and teach another class from 4 to 6, so I have to find a way to make sure I don't risk getting this sick again! (To say nothing of the fact that passing out in front of the kids would probably scare the crap out of them.)
