Okay, bear with me here.
My sister, Sally, went into the hospital Monday night because her legs were terribly weak and she couldn't walk very far without getting really winded. A gazillion tests later - low protein, low potassium, and now a blood infection on top of all her cancer problems. They're keeping her in the hospital for another week in order to give her the doses of antibiotics she needs.
Note: She has bone cancer, which has spread pretty much everywhere. She's already had a mastectomy, has limited use of her arm (elbow is pretty much seized up), and has a stent in her liver that needs to be cleaned with arthroscopic surgery every so often. She's also been losing quite a bit of weight because she's having trouble keeping food down.
