| 7 days after brain surgery, 2:46 AM. Yes, 2:46 AM. I had to wake all
the time to take drugs, and I drank tons of Gatorade. The anti-swelling drug
I was taking was a steroid, and that caused me to be tremendously thirsty.
If I only drank water, I would wake every 15 minutes to drink more. Drinking
Gatorade allowed me to sleep 1-2 hours before waking again for liquids. Much
better. |
