Still no progress...


Still waiting...I hate to be impatient but just can't help myself! I am ready to move forward with this!


We had a call last week from one of Chris' doctor concerning high potassium levels from his last visit. It was apparently pretty bad because the doctor himself called and the usually slack office actually called again to tell him to come back for another blood screen. They are thinking it might have been an error which tells me that it must be pretty bad...I hope it was an error. It has me very worried. The only thing I can find concerning high potassium is that it is a kidney issue. With Chris having diabetes, anything to do with the kidneys scares me.


I really wish they would move a little faster with the surgery...I have a fear of damage that is being done to his body while we wait...most of all my fear is the damage that is not reversible no matter how successful he is with the Lap Band. I think I will encourage him to f/u with the surgeons office again on Monday and advise them that his health continues to deteriorate while we wait!


We went Blueberry picking this morning. That was fun...but very hot! We need to use the blueberries as a snack, they are really good for you. We are going to try them in a vanilla protein shake too. We talked about starting the protein shakes next week...bad thing is, if the Potassium is a sign of a kidney problem, high protein is bad for the kidneys too...you can't win for losing in this life!
