I'm really down....

Well I got registered today and before I got home Dr. Colquitt's office had called. My potassium is real low, in the red flag critical stage. I have to have my blood rechecked this weekend and if it hasn't come back up before Monday I will have to wait until it dones come up. If it's not one thing it's another. I am praying all will ok so I can have surgery on Monday, if it isn't up before Monday, I don't know when I will be rescheduled. Please keep this matter in your prayers. Kathy

You are in my prayers Kathy. I pray that your potassium will reach normal levels and your surgery will take place!

Kathy, Hang in there it's going to happen. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I am so looking forward to congratulating you on the losers side. Keep your faith. Lisa

Eat a ton of BANANAS!!!! They're loaded with potassium! Don't worry Kathy. This is probably some fluke. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. All of these hoops and hurdles you've overcame has made you so much stronger than you realize and I'm sure, so much more determined to get to your goal. You're in my prayers. *hugs* April

Hang in there honey...maybe this is a sign that the doctor needs rest before he does your surgery???? You just never know .... so I will keep you in my prayers... and don't sweat it... we are at the finish line... you are just waiting on the trophy!!! Love ya Tina

Thank you Michele, April, Lisa, and Tina, I am doing my best to get it up as quick as possible. One step being no water pills, the second doubling up on my potassium pills, drinking a lot of OJ, V8 Tomato Juice, bananas, just praying it will go up. I won't know for sure until sometime tomorrow. Thanks girls for being there. I love You, Kathy

Hi Kathy, You must feel like someone pulled the rug from under your feet. I will keep you in my prayers that your potassium will come up to the right level. Connie

Thank you Connie, yea I feel like the rug was pulled from under me. I feel really frustrated to get this far and this close, only to have my blood work come back with a bad element called potassium. I am going over at 8:30am to have my blood drawn again in the morning. My surgeons office closes at noon, so I am praying it will be up more and that the surgery is still on. Love Kathy
