i have to really watch what my mom takes. she has had serious..life threatening problems with her electrolytes. she is 77. even those huge horse pills for potssium wouldn't keep it up. it took her new dr and i hours of sleuthing and a million questions to her to get everything all straightened out. it has been year since she was in the hospital and almost died.

when she was in the hospital and had all the mri's, pet scans, ct's done basically head to toe. her dr explained to her that her brain showe some shrinkage. that she was in the early stages of dementia. mom said "it's normal for older peoples brains to shrink." try as we could, we couldn't convice her that her brain shrinking wasn't normal.
