I felt so bad for months that I couldn't seem to push myself into getting off the couch much. Then one eve I came home from the store and could barely carry in a few bags of groceries. I could barely walk from one room to another. So I went to the hospital ER. They kept me for 5 days. They said I was so anemic that I needed a blood transfusion. They think I have a slow GI bleed. I got scoped top and bottom, but they could not find a bleeding site. So I have more tests to go through. And I'm still quite anemic now. I thought I was just getting lazy.

When I got out of the hospital, a friend of mine gave me a big lecture on not feeling sorry for myself. I don't. And Idon't know what inspired her to give me that lecture. She further said she's going to watch my moods and keep after me, if she thinks I'm feeling sorry for myself. I have decided that she can go eff herself. Some people like to kick you when you're down.
