Winchester
, Have you tried Veganaise ? It is plant based mayo substitute. I have to look up the sodium level. They have an avocado version also. It is hard to find. I really like it. It is in the refrigerated section. I label the date on it, since it does not have a ton of preservatives in it.
I have also seen some sodium free chicken broth in the store. I will have to look further into it.
I think it all depends on what store you go to. I can get some things at one store and other things at another.

Yesterday:
*Up early for a cortisone shot at the hospital, done in the Radiology Department. It was my hip.
*No vacuuming or long brushing session or morning cuddles for Geoffrey.
*I did dry Swiffer before I left. I took an Uber in and out of Boston.
*Came home just as my team was beginning the bocce game. They wanted me to play, but I said NO.. I just watched. It was a beautiful day. I was walking gingerly, small, slow steps. Xylocaine is a miracle freezing med.
* Just did minor things around the house.
* Xylocaine wore off-- started to feel some pressure and a bit of discomfort. Took an Arthritis Strength Tylenol when I tried to get to bed. I think I may take another one soon.
* Got the Cortisone face flush-- at least I feel it. It does not look it. Got the extra thirst, along with extra peeing.
sleep was pretty much non existent. Guess blood sugar was elevated a bit.
Today I cancelled a shopping trip with friends. A bit of discomfort. Will hang around here. I do have to go downstairs for a few things. Nothing major. Will do a quick vacuum; Brush and cuddle Geoffrey. Plan to either read or watch TV... and open and close windows due to stuffy warm air and rain.
Sweet Geoffrey Boy. At one point he wanted to lie against my hip, purring... instinctive.. I had to cover the injection site with my hand cuz I was afraid of him walking on it-- all 15 lbs. He still stayed with me, on my lap..
It is really weird about post injection advice. The hospital said to go about my normal activities. Everything I read o the web, said to rest for a 2-3 days.. weird. I have a busy day tomorrow, so I am going to take it easy today.
I think the last time I had a cortisone shot-- knee, I went back to work cuz they were after me to. I think the first cortisone shot I stayed home.. Cannot remember..
I have also seen some sodium free chicken broth in the store. I will have to look further into it.
