@ehBeth,

Oh! Sorry! I didn't 'get that' in your post. How long has she been in the hospital. This is the first I have read about it.

@littlek,

mrs hamburger went in for a hip replacement on Tuesday - her potassium levels tanked yesterday, probably from all the post-surgery meds

hamburger and I talked about bananas late last night - I thought of this thread this morning ... sent hamburger some links - baked potatoes with skin on is going to be the order of the day once they can get mrs hamburger stabilized

Scary.

Hope the potassium levels are back up and she's feeling better very soon.

Mrs hamburger - in my thoughts. This potassium thing is getting around, it seems.

She can get her K level back up. They can give her a slow K pill . That always worked for me. Only thing is that the damn pills are as big as a football.

@farmerman,

They put her on an IV for potassium yesterday as well as the horse pills.

Just heard from hamburger - she's stable, and did well in physiotherapy today. Hooray!

Now to get everyone here healthy so we can go and visit and join the hamburgers in a festival of baked potatoes!

@ehBeth,

all is well !
potassium back to normal , physiotherapist made her climb the stairs (for a final test) and declared : "better than new !" .
she is home and doing very well - the pain of the last several months were pretty severe - a few weeks of "rest AND exercise" should put her back to her old-self again !
thx for all your nice thoughts and comments !
hbg and the mrs hbg
