Blood work report!

Believe it or not, my potassium level is fine. I had a bananna for breakfast before the blood work. Maybe that's why because I have leg and feet cramps alot. BUT, as I suspected, my B12 is low. I am going this morning to start my monthly shots and hope this will snap me out of my doldrums. I haven't felt friendly or like talking to ANYONE - just ask Jim - and I KNEW it was either my B12 or psycho meds. And since I am getting a shot, I get to go get ice cream afterwards - it's like FEDERAL LAW!!! (at least at my house, it is!). But not to worry, Marble Slab Creamery DOES have no sugar added! and BTW, the nurse told me that I have a perscription for water aerobics at the front desk!!!! Now to find someone to take it and file it on my insurance!!!! smoochies Arlies

That is great news. I go see Dr. J tomorrow morning at 0920. I will report in after my appt. Miss you! Come down and spend a few days with me again, I enjoyed that so much! We plan to come up there with the kids for a weekend this summer and stay at the park in Morton, I think they will really enjoy that. Rhonda

Please give my man a hug and a kiss!! I plan on heading down that way shortly after school is out. No definite plans YET, but will have to be after THE wedding on the 27th! smoochies Arlies PS my kiddos have summer passes to Rapids on the Reservior. Maybe when yours come, we could send them to Rapids with mine for the day!

You are always welcome, anytime, day or night!! Sounds like a good plan, I don't know what the Rapids on the Resevoir are, but it sounds like fun. I saw Dr. J today, he said my white blood cell count is low, my cholesterol is great, my protein is great, my bp is great, but my liver test thingy is high and he has referred me to have an ultrasound done on my liver, gallbladder and pancreas. He thinks my gallbladder is going bad and wants to check for stones before they get bad, if there is any sign of stones he is going to take my gallbladder out. I go for my ultrasound on Monday morning so I will let you know what I find out. I think it should be mandatory to take the gallbladder out when they do WLS that way it is all done and they don't have to go back in. Anyway, I will let you know when I find out something. Love and miss ya! Rhonda

Hey arlies, I am keeping you in my prayers. Yesterday I saw Dr. Salameh for the last time. A couple of weeks ago I started taking b-12, 2500 mg from walmart and I know it has been giving me enerrgy. They are rexell brand and you let them melt under your tongue, of course shots are quicker, but anyway Dr.S said it was fine. Btw, I am off bp meds, and diabectic meds and my husband said I wasn't snoring! I really hope you get to feeling better. I would love water arobics. Love you

Will Marble Slab Creamery be open when I come in from the Airport at 9pm? Seriously, I have been having leg and foot cramps big time, they have gotten better since I stopped taking my fluid pill which is a part of my Blood pressure meds, and I am eating bananas, raisins and oranges like crazy, but maybe dehydration could be a part of it too, do you think? Am taking the B-12 pill 2500mg dosage, every 2 weeks. I still have cramps when I go to bed, in the middle of the night. They are really bad at times but cant figure out the source except maybe that I havent had enough to drink. What do you think?

, but I am in the same boat as you! I do drink from 96 to 128 ounces of fluid per day, so I don't know about the dehydration. One of those "Dear Dr." thingies in the paper always says to put a bar of soap under your bottom sheet near your feet and that will stop the foot and leg cramps. I dunno why that's supposed to work, but they day it does, so try it! (It didn't work for me...maybe Dove is NOT the soap to use...) Can you get your potassium checked? It messes with your heart if it's out of kilter.... smoochies Arlies
