55. UPDATE

Aug 2022

Saw her today. Voice is better. A few blood pressure issues but that's nothing new. Talked to doctor and they confirmed potassium levels - not heart so there's going to have to be some major dietary changes. Mostly little stuff like no pizza unless I can find something with a pesto base instead of tomato, no processed cheese or meat.

There's talk of getting her off ICU onto a dialysis ward, then home.

Current TV: Seinfeld

Parking: another $CAN4.00
