It's been entirely too long since I've posted, and rather than go back and try to fill you in on everything that has happened since we last met I will just start from where we are now:
I just found out from my doctor that I am anemic. I was completely surprised, and feel a little lost as to what to do--I actually got a call from the receptionist who helped me set up an appointment with the doc to discuss this "issue." I instantly went online after that phone call and read about anemia and then scared myself half to death cause I'm almost certain I have the deadly anemia. On a side note, my ob/gyn from my second pregnancy prohibited me from going online and googling illnesses cause I would immediately start to feel symptoms of anything new I discovered.
On the plus side, I did discover that fatigue is a major symptom, and that has given me some relief. I thought I was just being lazy. I had noticed a drastic difference in my sleeping routine and my motivation to do just about anything leaves a lot to be desired, but I thought that having 2 kids and a nursery calling (not to mention the elevation) was causing all this tiredness. Funny enough, now that I know that is a symptom I notice myself being MORE tired than usual. And I've tried using it with Curran as an excuse and it's just not flying. So what good is this illness if it's not going to win me some sympathy?!
So, as I sit and wait for Wednesday to arrive I have gone out and bought lots of fresh spinach and lots of beans--any other ideas?
