Ahh... Yes, the sodium factor. I suppose I, too, need to become more like the "salt-free Kazoo" (grin)
Thank you for that very important and helpful bit of advice, Kazoo!
Additionally, in regards to Lasix, I'm goint to bring that bit of information to the attention of my doctor. He had mentioned that I might need to get on something of the sort, and thank to you, I'll walk into his office, knowing one that will work.
Best of luck to you, dear Kazoo (and to your moms, as well [smile])
