Well that was unexpected!
I'm in hospital.
Yep, didn't see that one coming did you? Neither did I. I thought doc Shoozenbootzen was going to praise me for getting all that water out of my ankles and for tackling the skin problem. The issue was that my potassium was way to high (can lead to heart problems) and my creatin was way high. So I'm in getting hydration and and lots of resonium to lower my Potassium.
I'm not sure if I have spoken on the delights of ResoniumA powder. It's like drinking sand! It's ploystyrene with an active ingredient that sludges through your body snaring up Potassium ions and then carrying them out the back door. I was doing two shots a week now I'm doing four A DAY!
Hopefully I'm not here long. Went in last night (Tuesday) and may be out on Thursday. Gene was with us so had to go back on the train last night. Joyce stayed in the hotel across the street. She has booked another night. Just waiting and seeing. Could be a crappy Christmas but hey the food is not too bad.

Things are better
The extra water tablets have worked my legs are regular size and my skin has shrunk back down to regular size. I got Dermatoolguy appointment in Brisbane las Tuesday and they aren' sure what the cause. They did three more punch biopsy to see if they can find out but they prescribed some extra strength steroid cream has is working a treat. My skin still itches fro time to time but not fiercely like it had been. I'm already on the step down steroid cream they gave me to follow the extra stuff.
So things are quite a bit happier around here now. Still reacting a bit when I get too hot and sweaty but oh well.
