@Discombobulated Sorry you have been so tired. Hopefully your blood donation will go well and your iron will be sufficient. I have problems with low iron too. I have had to get a couple iron infusions in the past because supplements don't seem to get my iron up but maybe a couple of points. You are awesome donating blood! I just can't; it makes me so faint. I have even completely passed out just when the PCP takes blood for standard yearly tests like CBC, cholesterol, iron, etc.

I didn't run today because of my hip. You are right; that is extremely painful! I think my hip may have popped overnight when I shifted around in bed but I was only half awake, in a daze from sleep so I can't be sure. It still hurts this morning, more like the muscles are sore from limping around yesterday. I iced it and got a smallish pop this morning; it seems better than when I woke up, but I took some Tylenol too. Probably I'll take tomorrow off and maybe be able to do some light walking the next day. We'll see. Not exercising drives me crazy though!
