I failed!
Failed my iron test. Again.
Crap. I really felt prepared for this one. I'm able to stay up past 8pm now. Have eaten more beef cooked in cast iron than the meatpackers union would recommend. Take my supplements (ok ok - when I remember. Which isn't daily but enough I think).
Anyway - have to triple my iron supplements (what is that going to do to my gut) and get tested, again, for internal bleeding.
Crap.
Mom is right now waiting for a procedure to start that is testing for a cancer recurrence. She's already recurred once, locally, two months after chemo ended. They changed protocols and are now seeing if this one worked. Much much bigger deal than my silly iron failure. I need to keep shit in perspective.
edit: got an all clear! No sign of cancer.
