Re: Blood test results

Jackie,
I made a note re: to the title of the book and the author's name. I have
the Barnes and Noble Booksellers site bookmarked and will check it later
to see if they have it. They have a store in my town. My doctor called and
told me that she wants me to take Klor-Con which is a sustained-release
potas. pill according to what my pharmacist told me. I may call my doctor
before taking it since I had a bad case of hyperkalemia several days ago
after eating some food that contained a salt substitute.
Thanks so much,
Jason
