A medical office called me today to rattle me about lab results I had done yesterday. They're an incredibly demanding office. Shockingly low potassium. I was instructed to go to emergency immediately.
But I don't like emergency anymore.
Last time they didn't do anything and I was admitted to hospital instead for more tests. And that turned out to be horrible.
So my trust is used up.
I'd rather eat a banana.
They said, okay. But eat a lot of other things too. The woman listed foods high in potassium.
I don't mean to be difficult but I just went to Whole Foods. I just plunked down a small fortune. I don't have the energy or interest to do that again so soon. So I called in an order for delivery. But it's snowing here. Everyone is rushing the groceries. The fastest I could get is tomorrow afternoon.
My meals will be 100% high potassium for a few days. Then another lab test.
Then undoubtedly another call from the specialist and more immediate demands.
This meal has an entire punnet of mushrooms. On the list of things is tomato sauce and orange juice. So just scrounging I can manage potassium until the load arrives tomorrow. Luckily all my favorite things. High potassium diet is easy.
Punnet?
Yeah, punnet.
Stick with me, Kid, you'll learn something.
Knees are aching, backs are breaking
Ladies fair who eat our spoils
Have you ever 'midst enjoyment
Realised our painful toils?
Forty, fifty in a punnet,As if. They were picked by machine and they cost $6.00 each.
Each one picked by hand with care,
For a penny paid each punnet...
Thus you get your dainty fare.
