Morning guys.

Was just to wiped out last night. Really had a couple bad days. Feeling a bit better this morning. Still having big problems with fluid. They don't know as to why my face is swelling even after shooting me up with a ton of Lasix. They wanted me to be transferred to New Orleans, but said no. I have to go down next week anyway. They are not happy with my blood work. Dam numbers more then doubled. I have to go back to the local hospital this morning for more injections of Lasix and a potassium infusion which is very low. That was the only way they agreed to let me come home yesterday.

I'm hanging in there and still giving it hell.

Dang sorry to hear you are struggling as of recent. Hopefully they get all the fluid off of you soon. Make sure they are keeping up with the Mg. level too if your K is very low.

Yes, my Mg is low too, but I'm able to do pills on that. My potassium was at 2.9 when I left yesterday. That was after a infusion of it. Mg was at 1.9. The good thing was I didn't have any leg cramps last night.

What has my doctors all in a up roar is my BMP numbers. Were not happy with them.

I figured BNP was the # you were referring to being elevated. If fluid overloaded it makes sense. Got to watch the sodium intake.


They will not be able to raise your K if Mg is low no matter how much they give.
