My kidney function is back to normal for me as of this morning's lab work, but the potassium is still too low to let me leave today. The poor nurse this shift has been slammed with no PCA and psycho woman with a service animal who needs constant attention a few doors down.
On the bright side, I negotiated myself off of NPO to chicken broth to solid food in less than 24 hours, which is a hospital record for me.....  |
Glad to hear you’re doing better. Hope it continues and you are home soon.
Best of luck. 🍀
