Sin Kim,

I enjoy your great posts and you really seem to know your stuff.  However, just being a nosey rosey here, I noticed you used the Queen's English spelling for hematologist.  Are you Brit or Aussie by chance?  

Just wondering as I am a Brit and Aussie phile so I was just curious.

I'm an Englishwoman in Colorado kiss.   I've been here in the US since 2001 (other than 2005-2008 when I lived in Singapore) and although well assimilated - am still VERY English in many ways LOL!

Hey everyone,

 

This post kind of went all over the place and I am trying to figure out who was talk to who and who thought they were talking to me but talked to someone else and so on and so on lol.  But anyways.  I had more blood work done yesterday.  I have my appointment with my surgeon next Tuesday so they wanted the blood work done before so they had up to date stuff to look at.  When I seen him in January for my 4 year post op visit he said that he thought I needed to see a hematologist and get a transfusion but I was super nervous and very scared about having someone else blood.  So he was giving me 3 more months to get it up on my own but I am only getting my iron up.  And even that is only 2 points so I didn't make as good a dent in it as I know he wanted but the problem is my hemoglobin dropped so they have to figure out where the blood is going. 

 

By no means do I feel "good" but I have 4 kids so laying around isn't an option.  6 am comes and I am up and on the go.  I do not sleep a full night because of one thing or another.  I am shocked actually that I am functioning to the level I am at all.

 

I thank you all for your input and I will let you know what he says next Tuesday...
