I knew it. His pants and shoes are tight, and he gets out of breath going the the washroom.
You've lost 5 pound of fluid from the lasix. How do you feel?

You wouldn't have been able to walk this far a month ago. And you aren't even out of breath.
That salt shaker is gone! And we are starting an exercise routine!
