she
said
the
hospital
was
keeping
her
because
her
potassium levels
were
low
.
it
sounded
bogus
to
me
,
like
eat
a
fucking
potato
,
woman
.
but
it
turns
out
it's
a
thing
for
chronic
drinkers
and
drug
users.
your
muscles spasm
and
get
weak
,
the
mineral
leaves
your
blood
and
can
result
in
cardiac arrest
if
not
properly
balanced
.
she
started
in
detox
five
days
ago
but
was
transferred
out
for
further
medical
attention
not
long
after
arriving;
she
didn't
tell
mom
because
she
didn't
want
her
to
worry
. mom's response
was
, "
you're
full
of
shit
;
you
didn't
call
because
you
were
intubated."
