Salt, Soup and a toothache

My tooth ache got much worse last night so i took half of a pain pill and had to go to sleep so didn't get all my fluids in yesterday.  I woke up a bunch when it wore off and ended up reading some at 4am and then giving in and taking another half at 7am and so i slept very late. Between wed and thur i gained 4 pounds, as of today i have only lost 2 and still have swelling in my ankles so i know i'm still holding to water......may need to take a diuretic as per Laryssa's suggestion if this continues.  I decided no more salty stuff today and will see if tomorrow is better, but i've been drinking steadily since i got up and not having the usual bathroom  breaks so tomorrow may be worse rather than better.  I'm still having to take some pain meds but they are not knocking me out as much....but i cant eat anything hard and that means a lot of vegies are off the table ....... so I decided to make a big pot of vegetable soup.  Onions, celery, pepper, carrots, zucchini,  tomatoes and a head of cabbage.  Figure i can measure out a cup of vegies and then add broth or even eat the two parts separately.  Will just rotate the cal of a cup of each of the major vegetables for the count.  I'm going to add a little salt but not much and if my weight is still up tomorrow i will own it as the salt attack was  mine and only my fault if it caused me problems.
