Good morning!!!!

Glad you are home Randy. Deviled eggs :licking: Ham :licking:

Maybe beer is good way to fix the thirst you will have? It doesn't even take the time to change color.

:laughing:

Glad you are back in your home Randy.

What took all the salt out of your body if you don't mind me asking? If you do mind, just tell me to go mind my own business.

TXDon, cover your eyes, doc tells me pour on the salt eat pork and don't drink too much water. Never thought I'd hear that from a doctor. it's amazing all the havoc low sodium can wreak.

Since pork in naturally salty, and you are low, I can see why the dietary recommendation. But where did the pig get the salt from? I'd have to skip the carrier and go right to the source. Did the blood test reveal the cause of the sodium loss? It seems there are a lot of different causes to eliminate. Enjoy your extended Thanksgiving!

To answer you guys, not sure what caused the drop, had a similar but much less severe event around ten years back. That one corrected fairly quickly by just adding a little salt to my diet. I had gotten a little gung ho in trimming the salt. Now I have a feeling there may be something more such as kidney involvement. I'm a twenty year diabetic, controlled well with diet and exercise, but the peripheral problems still happen, took about 6-8 laser treatments over several years to fix a leaky vessel in my right retina. But it successfully took it from 20/100 to 20/35-40, and telephone poles no longer look like crawling snakes and speed limit signs don't look like raisins.
