Health Update

Hello,

I meant to get an update out sooner, but things move pretty slow for me right now.

Anyway, on Wednesday I saw a gyno specialist dude in Omaha who recommended a few things we're going to try. Unfortunately, while these methods may make me "better" I will have the same amount, if not more, pain and the bleeding will probably continue.

Thursday morning I went into my local gyno's office to get my hemoglobin checked because I had been feeling so weak. Surprisingly, my hemoglobin was 10.6 (even higher than it was after my blood transfusion), so that was good news. However, it didn't change the way I felt. In fact, looking back, I'm surprised I didn't faint on my way out of the hospital building. I spent the rest of the day in bed reading and sleeping. In the evening I tried to fold a small load of laundry but I had to do it in stages I was so weak. Kinda pathetic, huh?

But...I got to talk to some friends yesterday, which was awesome. I get a little lonely being in my room all day with nothing but sleeping rats and a demonic--I mean, loving--black cat. Poor Velvet, she works so hard to take care of me and worries herself whenever I leave the house (she never knows if I'm just going out for an appointment or if she won't see me for a week or two). But yeah.

Today I'm doing a little worse (so far), but I hope things will look up as the day goes on.
