SPDF stop Palestine death fast day 14: I visited my doctor this morning and she was wonderful. She seemed to understand what I was doing, unlike prior fasts I have been on. I told her I hoped she would help keep my mind going as long as my body does. I hoped she would check my blood work periodically and she agreed that that would be a good idea and she wants to and will do so. I am very grateful. My last fast by day 17 I was in the hospital with dehydration and dangerously low blood potassium. The other day I purchased potassium tablets, took one last night and was up half the night with a horrible stomach ache. Potassium taken either IV or by mouth on an empty stomach is very very very painful. I told my doc of this. She insisted on doing blood work today. And if and when she sees my potassium going lower she thinks she can get me tablets that will be much easier to absorb.
