Maybe we should be asking if it was worth it!

Glad they caught it, and that you feel better, too.  :cuddle;

So what did the hospital do for it? Did they give you something and if so, what?  So glad you are doing better, baby cake!

they said that i had gastroenteritis
also known to be a stomach flu
but i dont know
for im still having the pain in my stomach
i went to dialyis today and they gave me tylenol
and that really help
so i went to the store when i got home and bought a off brand of tylenol
my doc called on something else
and i told him what was going on
and he said call tomorrow and i might be able to get in to see him
 i guess this dang thing i have can last 3-8days
but the pain is not fun at all

they gave me
a nausia pill
and that liquid junk chalk taste when your potassium is high

I hate that chalky stuff for Potassium, kayexelate (poly sorbitol ssomething). The pharmacy flavored it once and it made it worse!
 
Hope you do not have to take anymore doses for a long long time!

my husband has almost lost his life due to high potassium. First, his body went inot total muscle paralysis, then he collapses on the floor because his potassium sends signals to the muscles ( which is the heart!) to work properly. His heart went out of control. One time K  8.1  Second time he "coded" as I am told by the doctors when they wouldn't let me in there with him, was 9.2.  Please be very, very careful about potassium issues.

Potassium is not something to screw around with, that's for sure.. same goes for phosphorus.  both can affect your heart, and if it should go, you're pretty much done for
