potassium
On the subject of potassium… I was thinking that since my kidney function
was down to 50% that I should start restricting my potassium. I asked my
doctor about it and she said NOT yet. Restricting it could create a
deficiency which would cause alot of problems. She said that potassium
has to be in a good balance for the heart to function normally. (Too much
and too little is not good) I’m pretty sure it’s part of the standard blood
check we all get. Just keeping it in the normal range is best. –Jeana Ü

Don’t assume - get the *actual* number result of the test. Being told *it’s
okay*, etc. isn’t really good. We are responsible to know the facts and if
they are withheld, I want to know why.
