Has anyone heard from Kathy Newton?
Thank you Sara. I am home, but still very sick. The potassium that my PCP and surgeon want me to take is not covered by Medicare D, nor is it is covered by the Va medical Center in Nashville. I received 2 pints of blood yesterday, and they sent me home today. I see my PCP on Monday but I know that by then my potassium will have dropped again. All they did was keep me on potassium IV plus potassium with saline, took blood tests every shift, but never did any further tests as to why I needed 2 pints of blood. I have made up my mind that if it comes to being in the hospital again because of my potassium, they can just hook me up at home. I'm tired of the aggrivation. Thanks for your calls, they were sure appreciated.
Love Kathy
