Re: Potassium salts

[Guest guest]

Patty, I will try to find out what the Potassium pills contain. We are going to have my bloodwork done in a few minutes. Tomorrow morning, they will do a Scan on my left leg to see if there is a fracture.

Honey, thank you for this website, we will look at it later today.

Love you so.........Lea
