Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I'm home from the hospital and not feeling well. I was feeling worse being there so I'm glad to be home. I recieved 4 bags of IV Potassium and then some oral as well. My Potasssium is now at the lowest end of normal but at least it's ok again. My Hemoglobin and Hemacrit dropped again over night so I was given a blood transfusion yesterday afternoon. I recieved 2 units of blood. The ultrasound of my legs was neg. I don't have any blood clots. I'm retaining fluids pretty badly in my abdomen and that is really bothersome and troubling to me. My doc. didn't want to give me a diuretic because then I would lose my potassium again. I will have labs done again on the 24th to see how things are looking. My doc. believes I have malabsorbtion of the intestines that is causing my Iron Deficiency but he can't explain the very low potassium and dropping blood count. It's just a wait and see. Thanks for all your prayers. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
