some "sick" news
i know i havent updated in a while. i guess i have a really good reason. im really sick.
it all started 4 months ago and kinda never went away. i went to my family doctor (richard stigliano) 3 times and i am still sick. he only gave me pills for what I thought may be wrong. so i kinda gave up and just prayed i could fix it myself. yeah...no. so i went and finally got blood work. it turns out that i am EXTREMELY anemic. the normal count for iron in your blood is 12-15 and mine is 6 and there was something else i was lacking in but i forgot. i also have a very high level of pheritines (whatever i have NO idea what they are) i just know they are caused by stress, lack of exercise, and poor diet. speaking of poor diet i have lost 20 lbs so i actually look sickly. i also tested positive for MAYBE having stomach ulcers therefore in a month i get a tube stuck down my throat to see. and the best news is that on thursday since i am so sick i have to have a 6-7 hour iron iv treatment. i will be locked in a room with an iv slowly putting the right amount of iron in my body. and the bag is big. matt is taking the day off and i cant believe it. god i dont know what i would do without him. im missing so much school its pathetic. apparently i let it get to the worst stage of all this or something bc all the docs are kinda freaking out.
on a good note i have a new job where i take care of sweet old ladies and watch their tv or do homework. all i do is get their food and help them walk and to the bathroom. easy 7 bucks and hour.
but im sick so feel bad for me :)
