And Steph, oy, your dad. A break sounds like a good plan.
Laura, I'm glad you got back in touch with your friend.
I'd like to announce that it's officially very hot and humid here. Very. Enough that it's a little hard to breathe. Am drinking lots of water, of course, and I think it's time to add Gatorade to the routine.
I'm having spasms of pain in my upper back so bad I can hardly move when it happens. Sometimes it wraps around to my diaphragm too.

Potassium, huh?
Low potassium can cause muscle cramps -- I always get them in my calves if I'm low on taters.
Oh, asthma inhaler...yeah, I should probably get that refilled. Eh. Requires a doctor visit.
Tep is me. I'm taking HBP meds and so I have to be on the alert. I understand avocados are good for me, so I'm indulging.
Low potassium tends to hit me in the lower extremities with leg and foot cramps. I take a supplement now.
I'll add it to my magnesium and calcium and zinc

My GP is supplement positive. Which is better than script positive, I guess.

Glucosimine for the joints, recommended by the guy who operated on my shoulder.
Man, I take a handful of supplements: calcium/magnesium, fish oil, vit E, vit B, vit C, and sometimes a probiotic if my innards are fucked up beyond their normal fucked-upped-ness.
