4.3 sounds much better. Glad you're ok.

Thank goodness Sullli! As you are probably aware, my husband was 9.3 before. You must have freaked when you hears those numbers. in all honesty, if that were the numbers you most likely wouldn't have been here to let us know.

That made me laugh, LOTS!  Damn you, I was aiming for a miserable day!

Glad your potassium isn't really at freaky levels sullidog.  Those pesky lab errors, eh?!
