Good afternoon, all! I'm still drinking coffee...I stayed up late reading, and woke up late. That's ok - all I have on my agenda today is Prom. Hee...that cracks me up! But it'll be fun, and it's in a nice place and I will get an expensive steak outta the deal. Yum.

It's SO nice here today!

My way to get through uncomfortable situations with my conservative relatives to think about stuff that would shock them if they knew -- slash, porn, the world if Kerry were President. Or the kind of fun Angelus would have with them.

I just drink heavily.

Because we don't have a What I'm Having For Lunch thread, allow me to tell all y'all that I'm about to go re-heat the leftovers of last night's Indian food (Aloo Mater). Yum.

Mmm, Indian food.

Today seems to have become my Spring cleaning day. So far, I've cleaned the bathroom, deodorized my couch, and swept the kitchen. Next up is flipping my mattress. Then, bringing the big stack of cardboard boxes down to the garage. Fun.

If we could get nekkid Laura to streak through my cousin's wedding, I'm sure it would be much improved.

You have my permission to imagine this happening when you need to distance your mind. Or someone more interesting streaking through the wedding. Like those SPN brothers.

Yay for Prom, Erin! Fun stuff.

I should be doing laundry and packing. My flight to Dallas is at 6:05am, so I should leave here no later than 4:30. Ugh. My list scares me.

I'd drink but they're Southern Baptist.

I've got hockey on (go Sabes!!) and doing some cleaning. My storm door is stuck again so at some point I need to get my screw driver and pry it open.

Gah!

So, S went in to gets initial labs done for a transplant evaluation. Her eval day is on Wednesday.

The lab just called to say her potassium was low, and maybe she should go to the ER.

Except, we hate going to the ER (especially on weekends), her low potassium is caused by one of the diuretics she takes, and her current level, while lower than normal, is still within a range that doesn't necessarily show symptoms. (In fact, when she first presented years ago, she had almost no potassium in her body).

So, we're probably not going to be going to the ER, and I've mostly calmed myself.

But I'm still worried, and kind of want to go.

Of course, I couldn't get her to go to the ER when she split her face open and gave herself a minor concussion, so I doubt I'll get her to go if I wanted to.

That's ok - all I have on my agenda today is Prom.

I read this as porn and coming from Erin it didn't seem out of place.

Of course you worry, Sean. Her levels may be lower than normal, but not necessarily low for her situation with the diuretics. Do you have previous reports to compare it to? A weekend trip to the ER may be harder on her than the potassium levels.

I read this as porn and coming from Erin it didn't seem out of place.

So did I, then I got to the free steak part and was confused.

Sean, it sounds probably not worth the misery of an ER visit just yet. Would it help any (with the potassium or just with your worry) for S to eat some bananas or choke down some Gatorade?
