Another test of strength and fortitude

OK, so blood test yesterday was reported to be 2.7K - potassium level.  This means certain potassium cannula in hospital, possibly 1-2 nights.  Last week was a disaster stay in hospital, with doctors and nurses of our local regional hospital messing things up so badly, that her veins were burnt.  Concentrated potassium racing into her veins!
The highly seasoned and experienced nurse, in response to my girl's cries of pain, told her she needed to toughen up.
So, so reticent to go to the hospital and be at the staff's incompetent mercy, my little trooper chose to take oral potassium supplements and have another blood test this morning.  We are waiting for the results.
Rumination Syndrome (RS) is so debilitating when left misdiagnosed and mistreated for a long period of time.
I fear for her life every second of the day.
