Tuesday Evening

Mary's back spasms continued and the surgeon's office called to follow up. They sent her to a local lab to take a fresh blood draw and we have not heard back yet. We assume the silence means things are ok--or the lab didn't get the results back to the surgeon yet. Mary left a voice mail and we'll get a call back the morning.

Potassium deficiency can cause, among a bunch of other things, muscle spasms. And, given's Mary propensity for electrolyte imbalance (SIADH, for example), they want to make sure she is within normal ranges.

Otherwise, Mary and Reenie had a good day including a trip to the grocery store--to buy potassium rich items we didn't already have in the house. Reenie cooked a stir fry dinner in a wok with about every veggie and funghi known to man that has higher than average potassium.

After Dinner, Mary comfortably watched TiVo'd shows from the last four weeks.

A nice day, all in all.
