finished tests that primary doc ordered

[Guest guest]

I hope to have the results in on Thursday when I see him.

Just one aside:

I had a 24 hour urine potassium done. The tech was going to give me

one container to fill. I said that I needed probably four. He said

that was impossible, nobody ever fills even one. He gave me two

bottles.

I went back in the afternoon for two more. I filled 3 1/2 bottles

with urine in 24 hours. I think I set a record at this particular

lab. The lab called me yesterday to confirm that I understood that

this was ONLY a 24 hour test. I told them that yes, I only

collected urine for 24 hours. She said she had never seen anything

like it.

Talk about excessive urination!

Now that my tests are complete for the moment, I feel a bit more

relaxed and relieved.

Jeff - I did ask the lab tech for the high specificity/sensitivity

tests, but he said I would get just what the doctor ordered. I

tried.
