Lab UPDATE

Everything was okay, just okay.  Iron a little low, creatinine good, A1C terrific,  my potassium was high and I have to go back on the kayaxilate two times a week.  YUCK!  And.......  I have to go for a stress test on Thursday.  I've been having some trouble with what I thought was panic attacks and I stay COLD ALL THE TIME....he seems to think it might be my heart and didn't want me to wait on the stress test.  I wanted to wait till school was out and he said NO WAY.  If nothing else but to rule anything out....and with my potassium always being high, he says I need regular stress tests anyway.  I hate those things.  Please pray that I pass with flying colors.  My Mama died from heart disease at the age of 61. Only thing is, is that we didn't even know she had a heart problem till it was too late.  Apparently she'd had some sort of problem for years and then she had her heart attack and died.

I'm sorry you have to go back on the kayaxilate. I know you hate it.  Try not to worry too much about your stress test.  Worrying will not help your heart so try to be positive. 

You know...,.  I worry way too much.  I hate worrying.  I'm doing better and God has certainly been working in life in other areas.  I continue to need your prayers.   Jill will be graduating in less than 2 weeks and I'm a nervous wreck.  She's making me NUTS!  grrrrrrrrr. 18 year olds....

Good morning Elle,

I wasn't online last night, so I just saw this.  You will be in my prayers!! I hope you read about God doing surgery on Randall.  We all came together and prayed for healing and God did it!!! Praise the Lord!!! And HE will do it for you too!  I stand with you in faith Elle, that he will heal all that is wrong with your heart and your elevated potassium levels!  Also that he will give you the strength to endure the kayaxilate  and that it will take care of your potassium levels for GOOD!!  In Jesus' name!!

Thank you so much Connie.  I do have faith and know things are going to be fine. You are right, Is sure do want those potassium levels to straighten out.  Geez, that medicine is ROUGH on the pouch.  NASTY STUFF!
