Truth be told.

Well now, I'm still not on the mend and truth be told, they are unsure what is causing the ups and downs of  my potassium, levels.

I've had tests ( not too nice ones) on my kidneys to ensure that there is nothing untoward in there ( can cause kidney stones).
I've had every check on my heart and they are trying to keep my blood pressure down.
Its a typical Lainey syndrome.
Got something, can't find what causes it.
The really frightening thing was when I was told that if the level drop very very very low, like under 2.5 which is where I was a  few weeks ago!!!!, it can be life threatening. Apparently over 6 is not good either !

Quite a wake up call.

So, with this in mind, I may be taking a little break from blogging  until I feel properly well.


For those who are unaware, I usually start writing the blog around 5.30am , before heading out to brave the traffic at 7am.

It has of late, with the packing and the upcoming move, all been very telling, so I hope that you will understand if my blog becomes less than 6 days a week.

Also with the new house, I want to have some time to settle in and enjoy the beginning of a new chapter of my life.

I am still under the hospital, and nutritionist to try to work out a diet for me that is potassium rich.
I'm not disappearing for good, just a few days a week.

I'm sure that you all understand.

Before I go today I will leave you with a bit of office boy banter from yesterday.

Norty Morty said he thought his wife couldn't read, when we asked why he rolled up both trouser legs.

'look' he said, '

showing a  black sock with 'JCB written on it.
Then showed us the other sock which was just plain black!!
' surely it can't be that hard? ' he said.

'That's nothing' said 'Our Ian'

' you know we are taking the caravan to the coast on Saturday' he said.
we all nodded.
'Well Mrs 'Our Ian' phoned me at lunchtime saying she was panicking as she still needed things'

we nodded,

' well I said that I could go to Morrisons at lunchtime and get what she needed for the weekend'

mumbles from the girlies of 'ahh bless'
mumbles from the boys ' under the thumb'

' what do you need then?' Our Ian asked.

' I could really do with a bag of ice' Mrs 'Our Ian' replied


' I tell you what' said 'our Ian' , ' I'll get two in case one of them melts!!!!!' he replied sarcastically
