UPDATE ON MUM
01/03/2007 by Ted.
EVENING OF 1ST MARCH 2007. THIS MORNING MUM WAS LOOKING BETTER BUT WAS STILL VERY DROWSY. HOWEVER SHE SAID THAT WHEN SHE HAD GOT OUT OF BED SHE HAD BEEN FINE AND HAD WALKED TO THE BATHROOM WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. SHE HAD THEN TAKEN HER FUROSEMIDE MEDICATION AND THE DROWSINESS HAD STARTED.
GOOD OLD INTERNET! AT LUNCHTIME I CHECKED OUT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF FURESEMIDE WHICH INCLUDED DROWSINESS AND WEAKNESS DUE TO LOWERED POTASSIUM LEVELS.
WHEN I GOT BACK TO MUM AFTER LUNCH I GAVE HER A MULTI-VITAMIN PILL WHICH INCLUDED THE RECOMMENDED DAILY REQUIREMENT OF POTASSIUM. AT TEA TIME SHE SAID THAT SHE JUST FANCIED A TOMATO SANDWICH - WHICH WAS MADE FOR HER AND WHICH SHE ENJOYED. IN THE EARLY EVENING SHE MUSED - “DO YOU KNOW WHAT i FANCY? A BLACK MAGIC CHOCOLATE” - WHICH I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT.
HAVING JUST GOT IN I ASKED GOOGLE WHAT WERE GOOD SOURCES OF POTASSIUM AND THE ANSWER WAS, AMONG OTHER THINGS - BLACK CHOCOLATE AND TOMATOES. SO IT SEEMS THAT MUM’S “LITTLE MEN” WERE PROMPTING HER TO SEND DOWN SOME POTASSIUM.
HOPEFULLY THEN THE DROWSINESS AND MUSCLE WEAKNESS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY POTASSIUM SHORTAGE AS A RESULT OF THE HIGH DOSAGE OF FURESOMIDE. THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH WE CAN PURSUE WITH SUPPLEMENTARY POTASSIUM-RICH FOODS AND A MULTIVITAMIN EACH DAY.
IN HERSELF MUM HAS HAD A GOOD DAY AND HAS NOT SLEPT AS MUCH AS YESTERDAY ALTHOUGH SHE HAS FELT DROWSY. SHE ATE PORRIDGE FOR BREAKFAST AND, OF COURSE, TOMATO SANDWICHES FOR TEA BUT JUST PECKED AT HER LUNCHTIME MEAL. TONIGHT SHE WAS A LOT FRESHER THAN YESTERDAY EVENING AND ASKED ME TO SEND HER LOVE TO YOU ALL VIA THE BLOG.
LOVE TO YOU ALL,
TED.
