Potassium level high again

8 Nov 2008

Yesterday i got up early and went to SGH to do my routine blood test. I was actually quite looking forward to my lunch cum breakfast after completing the blood test as i had to starve the night for the cholesterol test. I have been controlling my diet for the entire week and looking forward to a good lunch and maybe a bit of sinful food...

"人重是会向往得不到的东西, 这一点也没错。以前不会有craving 的东西,先在因为 most of the time 需要 control, 所以更会想吃。我觉得不是真的想吃, 而是要满足一钟欲望。"

After blood test, i went for my meal at Amara foodcourt. It was already 11.45am. Initially wanted to give myself a treat at Burger King but decided against it. I went to the foodcourt at Amara and ordered Yong Tau Hu. I remembered something which Auntie Yi May said: "sometimes eating out also dunno what to eat." Its true... now i will always go for either fish soup, mee hoon kway, mixed vege rice or yong tau hu (the rest of the food in the foodcourt either dun appeal to me anymore).

3.30pm : I was halway thru my work when SGH nurse called me. Shit ! I'm quite confident and thought my blood results were alright this time round. But she said my potassium results were high and told me to go back to take the medication to lower my potassium. I was initially in quite a happy mood but on hearing that, my heart dropped. Why?? My potassium haven't been high for a long time, what did i eat recently? I tot i have been controlling quite well these 2 weeks bef the blood test. Sianz... what is wrong? I went back and look at my food diary but really couldn't figure out what is wrong. I didn't take high potassium food these few days, why is the potassium level high? I give up trying to figure out !!

Just hope that the other test results were ok when i go collect the report from the doctor next week.
