Roger has been feeling queasy for days. Nobody knows why. GP thought to repeat the blood test for potassium levels, which were high last time he was in hospital. The new results were raised it's true, but only slightly and not enough to cause concern. We were hoping this was the culprit, at least we'd know why he's feeling groggy. It showed sodium level to be low, so I'm putting salt on the food he will eat. Low sodium would account for him feeling woozy.
In spite of anti emetics he goes to bed feeling sick and wakes in the morning feeling sick......it's no way to live!
The phlebotomist has earned her money this week, getting blood out of Roger. She is very experienced in such matters, but she said he was the worst person for getting blood she'd come across in her whole career. He is now two and a half stones lighter and actually weighs less than me now. The quest for feeding goes on!
