For the past week and a half, I have been in denial. No, that’s not right. I’ve just been doing a combination of ignoring the issue and doing what needs to be done. I’m getting pretty good at ignoring the issue. I still have quite a few things to do today.
Surgery is tomorrow. I’ll get the scheduled time for it later today. I have sheets to change, laundry to do, toilets to clean and a few more things along that line. Packing needs to be done, just in case I get admitted. Then, there’s the high carbohydrate drinks and the showers with the special medicated soap used before surgery. Fun times! Not.
Last week, my bloodwork showed low potassium levels. I have been eating bananas, almonds, beans, cantaloupe and other high potassium foods. Yesterday, at my cardiologist appointment, the bloodwork was redone. The potassium level went from 3.2 to 4.4. Thank You, Lord. I’m now in the normal range and my care team will be happy. In the midst of so much uncertainty, it’s nice to have something to celebrate.
