Salt

So we had an appointment Tuesday with the doctor. On the way I set my key on the top of the car and ran back in the house to get something. I decided I wanted Kale to drive so I could eat my toast. I told him as we were walking out to get the key because it was on top of the car. So a couple minutes later as we're getting on the freeway I heard the key roll off the top of the car and turn just in time to see it hit the road. I was like "did you not get the key" and he claimed he didn't hear me... he was using the valet key to drive. I drive a VW and the keys are 180 bucks. By the time we went back it had been run over. We picked up the pieces but they werent salvagable. So that puts us late to the appt. I get there all worked up and sweaty, almost fifteen minutes late. I pee, get vital signs, weigh, and get put in the room. The doc finally comes in and tells me my blood pressure is high, I have 2+ protein in my urine, and I have gained 13 pounds in the last 4 weeks. She asked what I've been eating, she criticizes my sample diet (wheat toast with jam, chicken breast, creamie popsicle, and spaghetti with broccoli) and basically wasn't happy with me. She said no more sugar, salt, or white flour. She said basically all I can have is protein and vegetables. Which is fine because I LOVE meat and have been eating tons of fresh vegetables. I have also been walking Chief with Kale. She wants me to follow up in 2 weeks for a re-check... hopefully my changes in diet will help and I wont have to be on bedrest or take medications...
