Lab Results

The results of Mr. Fixit's lab work showed that his potassium level has dropped to an acceptable 5.2. The normal range is 3.1 to 5.1, but the nurse practitioner said he could resume his normal diet with the exception of bananas. I suggested he also avoid tomatoes and nuts which are extremely high in potassium. I was a little disappointed because I thought it would be much lower since he hasn't been eating any of the foods on the high potassium list. I promised him pot roast today. It was a no-no because potatoes and carrots have extreme amounts of potassium. We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.
